BIG JACKIE
(District,1976)

The face of a fallen angel-
six two and blond, Jackie's a D.C. street-hooker,
so much body in one tidy frame, so little heart!
She could, indeed make an old man
run away from home--
and cause him to regret every minute of it!
She'll fill your head with dreams, your night with longings.
Alas, she'll end in a ditch off New York Avenue,
blood on her chin, a soft-nosed slug in her brain.
