WHORE

starving kid
gives you the finger
which is pretty funny

buzz of flies and the
smell of living flesh
                   gone bad

bones of small dogs
laid out in
geometric patterns

keep walking past the
third world
and what comes next?

what obscenities will
the people here
perform for you when
you promise them
                       food?

feels good finally
having all this
              power
