Dead Baby JavaA Poem by Olmsted A. T.A fictional account of an abortion clinic turned into a a fancy hipster coffee shop and a couple who patronizes both at different times in life.Dead Baby Java I hope that I didn't ruin your blind date can't believe I recognized the horror on your face as you walked in through the door the same frightened gaze from 15 years before Sideways glances there's no need I won't give you away I doubt the zealot owners will recall you looked completely different back then but still just as beautiful it all came rushing back as I saw you waiting in line again this time
for a Vente espresso and not an abortion Same location different time completely fucked up frame of Mind no matter the method some day we all will die Sometimes it's such tough decisions that exact a hefty f*****g toll luckily for us at that time there was a place for us to go Were we wrong or were we right I guess we'll never know so enjoy your coffee and reminisce and I'll abstain from telling dead baby jokes Has it really been a decade and a half since I last saw your face I'll be scarred forever with the image of your distress as we walked out into the rain The signs the screams the shame God's warriors replaced with hipster coffee beans and overpriced organic cakes © 2017 Olmsted A.
