She was from a lower-middle class family, and although
nothing about their life was fancy, nothing was horrible, either.
Their house sat on a tiny lot, like all the others
around it.
Once grown, she moved to a faraway state. With no
employment, she ended up in a dismal trailer park.
Inside there were cockroaches, and outside were men
selling drugs to kids.
Buying her weekly lotto ticket, the clerk asked what
she would do if she won.
Her first thought was, “Buy a brand new doublewide.”
Her second thought was, “I need to get the fuck out of
here.”
