The ****** troll through the projects
   hoping for a bite or two and some money
   to pay the rent. The nights are full of
   screams and loathing but calm down by the
   time the kids chase the bus to school and
   mothers go to their pitiful jobs at take
   out windows and cleaning toilets and wiping
   ***** in old folks' homes. The night work
   pays better and is full of happy endings.
