She was quiet in high school
and a nice girl who never
got in any trouble.
So I was surprised to see
her one night in Boston’s
seedy Combat Zone by
herself.
When I and some friends
said hi to her, she looked
embarrassed and acted like
she didn’t know us.
The fact she was alone
on the streets of strippers
and hookers, suggested
she was into bad stuff.
And I don’t know what
happened to that quiet
well behaved girl back
in high school
that led her to the streets
of strippers and hookers
in Boston’s Combat Zone.
