Pregnant

PREGNANT

She sings softly, a stupid pop song
Thinking I´m not here.
She is pregnant. The girlfriend of my host brother, age 17, is pregnant.
She has moved in, become pregnant, and now sings stupid songs outside my room.
I wonder. Because here the rule is,
Don´t talk about it,
We just conform and accept,
Because there is nothing to say
But I am slightly angered by this,
Their so-typical decision to have a child young
Or maybe it was an accident? Lack of planning?

Maybe it is one more hard piece of evidence that life here presents few options and many, with that in mind, see no reason to study, work, or strive for anything. So she will have a baby, a screaming, crying baby who will do these things right next to me. Because?

There is nothing else left to do. That´s the reality, Tim. NO. It´s part of it, but not it.
Can we at least fucking talk about this? When did I vote? When did I get something to say? Why can´t we just say this is a bad idea, just for evidence, just to know and say so?
