Caren Krutsinger Poet Dramatic Monologue

One More Car

She is freezing but she gets into one more car.
It has been a slow night.
She will help this lonely man feel less lonely
And she will have more money to feed her
Waiting six-year-old boy.
He is hungry.
And so is she.
If she has just a little more they will have a 
Better Christmas.
She makes lively conversation.
She is sweet.
But he is not lonely
And she never makes it home.
