I imagined what it would be like
If I had no food
I imagined - and remembered -
But it was long ago

(but)

I thought of how I'd have to find
A place that had some free
Open today and waiting
That I could get to now

(what)

I wondered how if on the way
I had to pay a cab
Or come up with bus fare in
The creepy piss-stained station

(if)

Would someone with a knife command
I give them up my bag?
Would someone a bit stronger, meaner
Make me give them head?

(we)

If they raped me would they leave
My clothing still unstained
And let me dress and continue
My way towards a meal?

(don't)

And I could bring my children some
Would I find them where I left?
I can feed them if I try
If I make it back alive
