SIX POEMS from A D WINANS
PANAMA MEMORIES

the young Panamanian girl
sitting alongside her sister
dressed only in panties and bra
reading a comic book
and chewing on bubble gum
at a brothel called the
Teenage Club
waiting for the first
Gi's to arrive
Six-girls lined-up like
Bowling pins
rooted to the long wooden
bench with zombie like stares
doing a woman's thing inside
a child's body
