I took the girl with me to Lexington
At the bus station we ate peacefully
a snack from the vending machine
and I bought her a ticket
for the 11-hour ride to Chicago
Maybe I saved her
sixteen years old, hitchhiking
on a dark Kentucky road
going to say hello to her grandma
she said, and I still worry about her
she said, and I
still worry about her
