ONE OF BILLY'S GIRLS by Michael Turner

Had a girlfriend from Golden.
She was Miss Golden of something.
Came down to Vancouver
for the PNE pageant
and lost.
Badly.
applied as a model,
but never got called.
Got a job a McDonald's,
then quit to go stripping.

I met her one summer
at the A-2 Cafe.
She was working the Five
right down the street.
Just the two of us talking,
laughing at dreams.
