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 was
if the panties were crusty
he was prepared
to pay more
i recently
visited fitzroy
after moving out
a decade ago
and was
disheartened to find
that
used panties
had been replaced
by
middle class mummies
