Marriage is not the most sacred thing in the world

I met with a very young prostitute today who
had just gotten off the boat from a poor country.
I think she must have weighed about 80 lbs. at
most, and standing 4" 8'.  Her hair was streaked
blonde, and she was standing on platform shoes,
wearing a halter top, exposing rather underdeveloped
breasts, convex belly, and a pathetically tiny body.
She had a baby face with delicate features.
I spoke to her for a while as much as i could in
her broken English, as she started to ask
me if i was from Canada;  I asked her if she had parents
here and she said uhm, well, yes, they are going to Vancouver.

I thought, is this kid going to give some middle-aged
father of two, losing his youth, a hard-on?  And if so,
is he going to pay her?  And is this going to be her
start in life?  She seemed so unafraid.


Marital problems seemed to me really quite insignificant
in comparison, for that passing incident.
