Crippled girl on crutch

Crippled girl on crutch
She was turning heads that day
Short purple dress
All American
Lost somewhere in that wilderness
A land with no conscience
A cold place and time
Her hair un-kept
She struggles
Coming through the door
A busy day behind her
A city flashing by
A story untold
A history
This was the crippled girl on crutch,
Her evening dress in the afternoon,
Her story unknown
