She just sat there.
As I drove away
With no clue as to what had happened.
It was not the first time.
I had encountered this type.
Of story but it was more than
I wanted to handle at the time.
It was Mexico City.
The Pope had come to visit.
Many of us had traveled.
A long way in order
To be present for his visit.
I arrived early.
To settle into the city
I remember living here.
As a child.
I wanted to stay at least a month.
In order to get the feel of the place
It had been a while.
I was not feeling well enough.
At first, I tried the YWCA.
In the past
This was the place.
An indoor pool
And a restaurant on site.
All females with a clean environment
Instead, I almost was not allowed inside.
This after I had spent.
Thirty-six hours on a bus
From Tijuana border
I found out I was the only female.
It was no longer only female.
I was not allowed into the pool.
Nor did I get Wi-Fi
I had to walk around filth.
The last earthquake
Had caused damage.
To the old neighborhood
I moved after a weekend.
To the Regina
Along the route of Churches
Where there was once elegance
The place was still elegant.
But the staff
Was the modern Latina.
They are no longer moral.
Nor Christian
They way they look at you.
And talk about you.
It is unnerving.
There is also a hospital.
Along here towards the Blvd.
I had had trouble with my laundry.
Having to find a location for it.
The whole city was different.
No longer safe neighborhoods
In which to walk nor places to eat.
I begin my journey through.
The Musuems of the city
Getting to almost all of them
I also moved again.
To the center hostel
Next to the Metropolitan Cathedral
The oldest and largest
The large square and the old palace
It was also where the Pope.
Would arrive in the next week.
But then I meet some old friends
Who were surprised to see me?
Slumming around
But I had a bad accident.
I was waiting for treatment.
For my tumors in my uterus
Wanted to stay out of the limelight.
Thought no one would notice me.
They were happy to see me.
Invited me to their hotel.
Which was better?
I was enjoying their company.
But then Candance appeared
Out of nowhere
Three thousand miles away
From her own home
She attempted to abduct me.
To put me on a plane
To fly me back to no where
She is the one who kept.
Leaving me in a park
Without money after
I had moved out of town.
They decided to call Jimmy.
Why or why would they do that?
We had to wait in a car next to the Cathedral.
There was this guy.
With a chain saw
It went on all day.
While I had a been walking around
I had met this couple.
With a baby carriage
They did not have a baby.
Nor a dog in it
I thought it odd.
I also felt uncomfortable.
About them being around me.
In this type of city
One rarely runs into people.
I had been robbed of my coin purse.
Which did not have my passport?
Others had complained of losing.
Thier phones
Police were polite but it was annoying.
Here we were waiting.
For jimmies answer
It turned out he sent one of his wives.
I almost laughed.
Lorraine is one of the older ones.
From Tennessee
She was living in Santa Rosa
The same time as he was living.
With his wife Teresa
My friends did not want to tell me.
But jimmy was concerned about me.
They did not believe me about my auto accident.
Either and I was just faking my injuries
He has a way of making people believe.
His nonsense
My new friend whom I remembered.
Giving me injections was not pleased.
To have to stay with these people.
Then Candace had me for a day
Moved me into a different place.
When she could not get me on a plane
Lorraine found me at the new place.
She was upset about something.
She also told me she was pregnant.
He was going to allow her to have a baby.
Imagine that at her age..
I recalled she already had one.
Where my mother pretended
To be a midwife
It was a miracle she did not die.
My mother has strange ideas.
About health and nursing
The baby was born and taken away.
Before she was able to know it.
Jimmy did not allow his wives.
To keep their babies
She wanted to go out with me.
We had to have lunch and travel.
By the metro
Which I had already done
It was a pleasant day or so.
As I was wary of her
I got drugged anyways.
And the couple approached us.
They wanted to know about my baby.
I told her it was tumors.
She told them in Spanish.
She said they did not believe me.
She said they were promised my baby.
There was a girl in the hostel.
Who said she was there to sale her baby?
She waited about three weeks.
Before it arrived
This dissatisfied Lorraine.
Who then caught me?
Having coffee with someone
She did not know.
He was an old acquaintance.
I did not know to sit down.
Jimmy wanted to come and explain.
Something to him
She spoke.
We had to go back.
Immediately because
I had got us in trouble.
I was not happy.
Having a companion
Was wondering how to get rid of her.
When we were surrounded
In the underground metro
She was picked up.
Hosted above the crowd.
She yelled back that.
They said they were only going to take her baby.
Not to go to the police
I went to the embassy instead.
It was hell to get inside.
Where I was not believed
Until the news came on
They showed the two women.
Being separated by the crowd
They took my name.
Then sent me back to my place.
Where I slept for almost three days
She then appeared out of nowhere.
She was angry and agitated.
She had been at the hospital.
Where they had taken care of her
But she found out she was no longer pregnant.
She could not figure out where the baby had gone
Her husband was going to be mad.
Dont tell him
She gave me a look.
I knew Jimmy fakes things
I also suspected he had arranged
For her to loose the baby
He likes to say he is the daddy
But cant stand having babies
Or the attention on anything besides himself.
She also did not believe me.
When I told her about being
Taken at the underground
She had also been drugged.
She left the next day without saying goodbye.
After having been sent for to keep me company.
I wondered if she was still alive.
It was unusual to disappear.
But I did see her a few years later
In a coffee shop
Just sitting there
And saying nothing at all.
I simply left her alone.
Her story was that she did not know
To trust Jimmy and belive he would allow
Her to have his kid.
The other girls story
Was that the Pope arrived
After being there a few weeks
I had to move out
As they told us the rent was triple
I should have stayed
But went around the corner
Where they were very nice
Had a roof top view of the city
But I had to climb. four stories
I had gone to the hospital
Where they told me I was very sick
I needed to be on a respirator.
For at least a week.
I did not know what to do.
I was missing most of my money.
I had to keep the little bit to get home.
The pope came and I saw him.
From a distance
They had invitations.
For those to go inside the Cathedral
I was found a few days afterwards
FAce down on the sidewalk
By some of the guys
From the hostel
They took me back to the hostel
Where the staff said I was homeless
But the police took my story.
I was angry at staff.
I was paying me way.
I was a student.
They said the woman had told them that.
She claimed I had her bed.
I reminded them I had paid for her bed.
Then I asked if there was room
To return as my health was bad
There was a bunch of vacancy.
Now that the pope was gone.
I packed up and moved in.
I apologized to the others.
But could not handle the climb.
Without having an asthma attack
This place had an open area
With the rooms around
Some looking out on the Cathedral
There was a restaurant on site.
And street musicians outside
While I was getting some food
I went out to speak to someone.
I recognized.
I wanted to know what had happened.
To the others
But he was angry at me.
He acted as if he did not know me.
The guy had showed up outside
I was trying to ignore him.
While his wife was working as
A housekeeper
Probably the one who was drugging me
I just did not know why.
I started to explain this to the guy.
When he pulled out a gun
And shot at us!
I was put on a plane that night.
To leave town
But was tossed out by someone else.
She did not want me near her.
Not good enough at all.
The ways some people talk about you.
A reputation is so easily ruined.
By a bad mouth such as Jimmies
I had to move back in
The middle of the night
My friends thought I had left town.
With Candace
While I waited for a few more days.
To get my breath back
The girl with the baby
Had it in the bathroom
The blood was everywhere
They screamed at us
To clean it up.
I called the police.
As the girl was laying on the floor.
They arrived to take her statement
She got up and walked into our room.
She laid down for three days.
I was telling them that this is what
Happened to the other woman
She came back without her baby
And I was found face down.
I told them again
I have tumors not a baby.
They sort of dismissed me
As American trouble.
I felt the jab from behind me.
I went back and laid down
When I woke up
I heard the sound of a newborn baby
It is different
Like a kitten mewing
I got up and walked around
To see what was going on.
The staff was really acting odd.
I called someone.
Who agreed I could come? stay?
On the Baja coast
To get away from this
I booked a bus ticket online.
Packed quietly.
Went downstairs. quickly
Noticed the housekeeper was gone.
Got a taxi to agree to take me.
To the huge bus staion
He had to have me pay at the desk
This is the way it is done
One pays ahead of tiem
So, there is no exchange of cash.
The desk asked me why I was. leaving
They were the ones who kept.
Saying I owed them money.
I had to keep paying for more.
Nights while doing my online college courses.
Now they said I had a few more nights.
I was well enough to leave I told them.
I had to go back to America.
To see my doctor.
Where they told me I did into have pneumonia
This doctors diagnosis.
They refused to refund me money.
But the guy was ready to go and took my luggage.
As I walked out the girl was done speaking
T the staff
Who had told her she was no longer a guest
She did not know what had happened
Where her baby had gone
Nor that she had had it in the bathroom.
She was without funds.
In Mexico as a young blond girl
I told her to go to the American consulate.
She said she had no wallet nor passport
Then you need to go talk to them
Or you will be living outside.
She just sat there staring.
As I was driven away
I was not. happy with my bus ride
But did arrive back at the border.
A few days later.
Where I crossed the border
After spending six weeks
In a city I would not mind living
But needed medical treatment.
Two years later
They arrested the couple.
With the baby carriage.
They had killed at least twenty women.
And was in custody of at least one baby.
I tried to call the consulate.
Tell them my story again
But it is drug land.
El Chapo is their main stay.
There were not. really interested.
in silly girls who get pregnant
Without a man
Then don't want their baby.
If they don't give it up for adoption
It will be taken from them.
As a matter of course.
This is their story.
The young women of today.
No princess tiara for them.
Being murdered for a baby
Who then can become the next
Meghan Markle
A prnicess in her own mind.
While Jimmy holds his plastic thing
He had to have it replaced.
It never did grow.
So, he got one from the morgue.
Poor Lorraine
Does not know she will never have his child.
Nor will he ever be the father of my child.
The world of Jimmy where girls die giving birth...
