When your 16-year-old little cousin calls you at 3 0'clock in the morning
to tell you that she needs you
to buy her a pregnancy test because she cant afford one
you instantly get mad for 4 reasons 1. it's 3 o'clock in the morning
and how does she know that you're not somewhere trying to get pregnant
2. why is she having sex with a man that can't buy her a pregnancy test.
3. why is she having unprotected sex 4. why is she having unprotected sex with
a man that can't buy her a pregnancy test.
no usually I've got a gavel for a throat and a big cousin card that I've been waiting
to pull since my first big mistake there's a thousand things that I should say
but the air is so dry is all I ask is are you thirsty
I don't make her buy the test I know what it feels like to not want everyone
else to know that you know what it feel like
"my boyfriend doesn't know" she tell me and I could take this opportunity to get mad
at her for a 5th reason
but as we both stand in the checkout lane at walmart
disappearing from something that's eating our insides up just the same
I just wanna grab that *** awkward silence out of the air
drop it and say
it's ok see I know that you father has a *** like
america and you've got a room like Afghanistan
and I've got a room like Iraq my war has gotten way to old for his invasions
and I'm sorry, but you're the only girl in our family
who still has oil left between her thighs.
