If we know her name:

Does it matter more,

A nameless child:

An easier whore?

If we knew her name:

If we knew her mother —

Is she more than less,

Not skin:

A hiding place

. for wicked Desire,

A nameless hole,

A Thing to be

. bought & sold?

If we know her name:

Would it be the same?

A trick or treat:

A product of the street?

If we know his name:

A dick named, “John:”

An abuser with cash:

Injecting & infecting:

Tearing flesh & soul:

A devilish transaction:

Crushing all our lives…

If we know their names:

Does it matter?

Should we —

Look again LA?
