Unplanned Parenthood Poem by Donal Mahoney

Unplanned Parenthood



There’s nothing else to say.
The problem won’t go away.

It will palpitate until
the death of one of them

as with a fetus
taken from a woman

who needs a little rest
before she puts her makeup on

and takes the bus back to work.
The woman needs the money.

Discussing why this happened
won’t pay her rent.
