An experiment in internet "poetry," part I

La pompiste

Girls who work at gas stations
are rebellious. Don't work in the boutiques.
Like their friends do.

Pumping gas in the rain
or snow,
they won't smile at you.
They're too cool for that - too Rock n' Roll, too Punk.

Too "Emo."

But they will wear purple
nail polish with their
work boots, work shirts and
reflective jackets.
