blonde in a red car

there was always
someone

who needed an advance in
their pay.

usually it was the last time you
ever saw them.

you'd see them
standing
in the boss's office, head
down,

pockets out, with a hang
dog expression
on their face.

they'd get their money,
then leave.

running down the  steps to
the side
door of the factory

where a blonde in a red
car
with the top

down waited for him.
