CHOICES

by Christie Sargent


The same people
who wouldn't sell
my 16yr old friend
condoms at the supermarket
are the ones I see
standing outside the clinic
with signs that say
"You have other choices"
"Make better decisions"
"Murderer"


Christie Sargent is currently majoring in Comparative Literature at the University of Utah and living in Salt Lake City, Utah.
