She's six years old
All she sees are dirty walls around her
Men coming in and out the front door
She wants to run cry and yell
But there is nobody there to help
She sees many different faces
Touching them in all the wrong places
Hearing the door open and close
She follows him because she is the one he chose
--Gabriela
I spoke with Gabriela, Bernardo, Heriberto, Santiago, Escarlet, Esmeralda, and Aldo on Friday, May 21, 2010. You can hear a photographer from the San Mateo Times working in the background at the beginning of our talk. Apparently the pics didn't make the paper. After the intros, Gabriela reads her poem. Listen.
