Searching customers
Hooked on its charm
Visions of escape
With a shot in the arm...
...a weeping school-girl
An interview with hate
A confidential suggestion
A desperate trade
Ransacked apartment
Belt round her throat
Fog blurs her vision
And her last hope
‘Say-no-to-drugs’ bumper sticker
On the landlord’s mini-van
Sign in the window says
‘Apartment for rent’
