Poem
II. Carmen had no other family left, and said,”I guess I can give it a try.” Her mother beamed. “I live in Miami, I’ll pay for some movers to come by!” That was how Carmen found herself living in the guest home of her mother’s mansion, it was almost as large as her old house, but was much more ornate and well-done. The first day Fileena was hugs and smiles, she helped Carmen unpack all her things, before she left, she said,”I’m so excited! Tomorrow I’ll show you where you’re working!” When morning came they drove down in a Benz, Carmen expected to see a large office, but Fileena pulled up to an aging warehouse, said,”Doesn’t look like much, but here it is.” Inside they passed stacks of packaged powder as they walked to her mom’s office suite, Carmen said,”Mom, what do you do here?” Fileena said,”Isn’t is obvious, sweety? “Not an ounce of product passes this town without first being shunted my way, and given how this country is going it’ll be legalized one of these days. “That’s what I intend to pass on to you, when the time comes for me to retire, you’ll want for nothing, the riches you’ll have, most people for their whole lives just aspire.” Carmen said,”This is a lot to take in… it’s all come as such a big surprise. Can I maybe go home and think about it?” Said Fileena,”Sure hon, take your time.” Carmen did not go straight to the guest house, she spent hours wandering about to think about her few choices, the gravity of it all… should she go along, or call the precinct? She puzzled over it a great deal that day, weighing her situation and her hopes, she went to the mansion early the next morn, said,”Mom, I want you to show me the ropes.” Fileena smiled, and they spent the whole day moving around the warehouse on a tour, half-way through said Fileena,”In coming years, I’m going to teach you about so much more.” Carmen saw everything she need to, she saw the basement where the product was made, saw the chemists hired by Fileena to specialize the drugs by their grades. She saw the dealers as they came in, to give Fileena her cut, and resupply, she even met the thugs who reminded folks that to cheat Fileena was to die.
