Never, Ever Let Your World Collide with Theirs
I'm sure you don't remeber, Clark, but I asked your advice one time about this girl I found that was fairly new to the life. I should have taken it. She was from Tarrant and had a kid she needed to take care of and seemed awfully sweet when she was straight. I thought she was very attractive and it was some of the best I've ever had. I don't know why it happens, but sometimes you're just smitten beyond all logic. I chased after her a while, spent lots of time and money with people I would normally lock my car doors if I saw them on the street. I got to the point that I was trusted by most of these people though I could tell that they were laughing at me. But, I was too far gone and didn't care. Luckily I had a close call that broke the trance. I stumbled out of a "lovely" motel room close to Avondale Park after almost going to jail when a cab driver friend grabbed my arm and said, "Get your ass back to your life and away from her before you wind up in jail, addicted or dead. " I had been planning on getting her away from all of this and creating a family around her. Fat chance! Thank God for that cabbie. He may have saved my life. BTW, I see this girl in and out of the county hotel regularly. Looking rough.
