I met the other in laws today,
And I registered how strongly I can blend,
Into the wallpaper.

It was only his grandmother that noted my quiet
Reactions.
And she wasn't sympathetic, rather just a tip of the cap.

I spoke, even quietly, and her eyes were on mine.
I suppose the 40s weren't kind, and she wasn't brave.
I don't delude myself into bravery, But!

I have an odd temper.
See, I'm hopefully past the age of worrying about
abortions
Yes I said it, boohoo.
It's the topic.

I don't care if you need it.
That's inbetween you and your doctor.
I know that its not only me alive on this earth.

I am incredibly unselfish when it comes to the fairer ***.
Because it could have easily been me.

It could have been me.
With no where to go,
Law on my back.

And I'm lucky, thrice!
Not only would the father agree, but also my own parents.
If I asked.

But...I'm lucky.
That's the point of law.
You shouldn't have to be lucky.
