7:00 wait for Bridgett to get here
Apply a second coat of mascara
Get fidgety read TV guide
Look in the mirror
Spray hairspray to the two teased tendrils
7:10 answer door tell Bridgett not to let Jessie stay up to late
Kiss Jessie, tell her mommy loves her
7:25 Pull into the parking lot
Looks like an easy night
Parking lot isn't even half full
7:30 say hi to the girls
Natalie is crying
Help her cover the new black eye with foundation
Tell her how she should leave Richard.
7:45 change into costume
Tonight I will be whoever I need to be
To make the money
To help raise Jessie
And to pay Bridgett
7:55 Tony yells "you're on in five"
Pour a shot of Jose
He is my best friend tonight
And tomorrow might be Jack, Jim
Or maybe even Mr. Morgan will drop in for a chat
Chase it with diet coke
Have to watch my figure
It's what makes me my money
8:00 Bright light in my face
Paula Cole make me feel love
Rings in my ear
And my toes ache in 5 inch pumps
There are 7 on the run way and 9 at the tables
Don't make eye contact I tell myself
It is just easier that way
8: 02 hide the expression that I am ashamed
Hide the evidence that I am weak
That I do this merely to survive
That I do this for my baby
Think of Jessie,
I tell myself, think of Jessie
8:03 notice that they watch me
And pay me for my services
They pay for my legs
Stomach
Breasts and a**
They pay for my baby
My food
My Shelter and clothes
They insult my pride my character
And my sense of strength
And I hurt cry smile and say thank you
8:04 the lights go out and I wait a half an hour
Until it starts again.
