Roman Prostitute

There was a big exhibit that I wanted to miss,
the Corot Exhibit. When I was in Rome
I took a bus out of town. I was looking for
Corot’s views of Rome, I was looking for
Inness’ views of ruins. I saw prostitutes
with chairs, standing by fires along the
side of the road. But what could I do? I
was on the bus. I didn’t have money to
rent a car. I thought to myself, “How much
does talk cost?”
