An Abortion Story

I used my college graduation money
for a plane ticket
to be present
for the abortion
I couldn't afford the operation
or the rental car required 
to cross state lines
to the nearest clinic
but I was there
and as callously
as I behaved
as obtuse and immature
21 year old manchild and
newly minted drunk that I was
I can say at least
I was there.
