Bus Peddlers

BUS PEDDLERS

They sell you candy
They sell you prayers
            They sell you their sisters

They sell you water in bags
They sell you pastries unwrapped
            They sell you their mothers

They sell you fruit
They sell you songs
They sell you themselves

They sell you anger
            They sell you guilt
They sell you their shame

By María T. Balogh (Spanish version published in Revista Bacanal)
