American Haiku #2

Girl calls the hotline,
"What if it's going to hurt?"
Nurse replies, "It will."

  2. Hannah, thank you for your interest. This haiku is about a teenagers struggle with an unexpected pregnancy. It exposes the current theme that in the strongest emotional circumstance, sometimes the only support has been reduced to a phone call with a stranger. She is then met with cold honesty.
