Smirked at, ****** on, pushed around, beat down The ***** street corner is Tipsy Trixie's sin city playground. She charges cheap, because the black asphalt radiates the smoldering mid-July heat. She hums "Hey Jude" as she struts up and down 9th Street. She can't wear layers in the winter, because nobody can see the goods underneath leg warmers , gloves, furs, and hoods. Now Trixie is pregnant, 4 months...she's starting to show. The days are getting longer but the business is slow. "The Man" doesn't know. He won't know...he can never know. Trixie's been warned about the man. He'll beat her up, and slice her open, like a Chef Boyardee ravioli can. Then he''ll sew her up and throw her back on 9th street, to meet supply and demand.
