there used to be a bloke
in Fitzroy
who had
a fetish
for soiled
women’s undies
he would
walk the streets
with a garbage bag
and buy
used panties
off the whores
i’m not sure
how much
the girls
charged him
per pair
but rumour has it
that if the panties were crusty
he was prepared
to pay more
i recently
visited Fitzroy
(after moving out
over a decade ago)
and was
disheartened to find
that
used panties
have been replaced
by
middle class mommies
