Promises
--------------
Me: welterweight, punchy, aging.
She's nineteen. Likes boxers.
Daddy's mobbed-up.
Downtown poker, easy.
Two men, two guns, she'd drive.
Plans went bad, people died.
We grabbed cash, ran.
I wiped her tears: "I’ll keep you safe."
MEXICO:
Hotel phone rings.
"Your life for hers."
A promise is a promise.
