JUNKIE ANGEL

Junkie angel waiting to score
On a sidewalk outside the Plaza cafe
Hasting Street Sunday night
Never wanting to come down
Waiting for her next fix
Always playing games with the narcs
Young hooker hooked on junk
Never conserving always wasted
Eating her body with a twisted black spoon
Punctured with another dirty needle
In her broken down vein
Telling everyone to fuck off
Calling for help from everyone who doesn't care
Hugging the dark reflecions from the bloody sidewalk
Killing herself slowly with all the other hypes
Only caring for her next fix

You recorded your thoughts well and managed to get your famous name in seamlessly, while painting a sad but true picture of this young girl and those like her.

A powerful and vivid portrait. The fact that you took time to write about her shows that you care about people on the margin. With a little less luck in life, I could be her...

A very powerful poem your name has spawned, Wayne.
