But I don't think there's a one of us
But that picket line persisted
Mine was a relatively easy tragedy
I am growing older
And that clinic's since been closed
They gathered when they saw me coming
My freedom of choice
And they gave my blood
I gave them every penny that I'd saved
She offered her hand for me to hold
Went through their picket lines
Never heros
Through the pinch pull wincing
Waiting in this line
She offered stability and calm
Playing with the toys
His bored eyes were obscene
They shouted when they saw me cross
On his denim thighs a magazine
And I was crushing her palm
My heart hit absolute zero
On that sterile battlefield that sees
Who don't know that they are wet
Now I'm sitting in this waiting room
Looks a little less hard nosed
They keep pounding their fists on reality
Hoping it will break
And I am here to exercise
Just leave me alone
I wish his shoulder
Under the fierce flourescent
I said why don't you go home
Only casualties
I wish he'd never come here with me
I'm just another woman lost
As far as I can tell
Lucille, your voice still sounds in me
And my urine
My smile unconvincing
A number
Are learned at the worst times
In fact I wish he'd never come near me
Some of lifes best lessons
I passed their handheld signs
The world isn't perfect yet
You are like fish in the water
I closed it when I was eighteen
Wasn't touching mine
Now the profile of our country
