Patpong Mona Lisa, water color on paper, 5x7 inch
She
came to Bangkok from Buri Ram when she was eighteen, working in a Patpong Bar, going
to school, sending money back home to Mom and Dad. Now twenty and going on
fifty, she
wonders where she will end up. Back in the house on stilts in Buri Ram,
destroyed and dead
in a Bangkok slum before she's thirty, or living in suburban Los Angeles and
driving her kids
around in a Mercedes.
