Sharing a corner

She watches the cars
In need of a trick
Who will be looking
Who will he pick

Where are the johns
There's none tonight
Her pimp will be angry
He'll pick a fight

She sits on a bench
Wanting to sleep
Protecting belongings
She needs to keep

A shopping cart
Filled with her clothes
And plastic bags
Filled with who knows

One comes and goes
During the night
The other wanders
In broad daylight

Sharing a corner
On the same street
One will get beaten
The other won't eat
