Say hello to the
girl
with the ripped-up blue
jeans on
and a cigarette hanging from
her lips,
And did you know?
She used
to be
a cheerleader with
pristine white
gym shoes, or the vice president
of her grade school
class.
Before you dismiss the
girl
with the band T-shirt
that you think has seen
the floor
of too many bedrooms,
say hello
to the
girl.
