Then as now She needs control To be the person In charge of her Own life, And not to be Under anybody Else’s thumb, Even the rape That must still Haunt her, Is less about sex, Than being Taken advantage of, She had already Given into his hits, He wanted more, Treating her Like a puppet, Drugging her so He could pull her strings, Had he just keep Hitting on her, She might have given in, After all she had Already said “yes” The first time, She might have said Yes again, Only it was never About yes or not, Giving in or not, He needed to Manipulate her, Which must have Scared the bejesus Out of her, More deeply even Than the act itself, She needing to steer Her own yacht, Needing to choose Just whose name Was in her daily planner, Not having it Thrust upon her. 2024 journal menu email to Al Sullivan
