BLUE MOON.

A GIRL IN 1956 USA IS FACED WITH A STARK CHOICE.

Blue moon at least

That is what he said

It was but she had her

Doubts and anyway

That was the least of

Her problems her bleeds

Being three months overdue

And what was a girl to say

Or do what with the parents

Being such religious fools and

That cane over the fireplace

That her granite hard grandfather

Put there as a threat to breakdown

Of order or morality and moon blue

Or no she knew it was either to abort

The babe in some dark room or go.
