[the Writing of Kuypers] [JanetKuypers.com] [Bio] [Poems] [Prose]
rape is one of the most savage
it is a political crime
rape is an attempt by men
Bob Lamm, 1976
now there’s two ways
you know you want this
i saw the way you were
did you think those drinks
how long did you think
just do as i say
most accurate metaphors
one of the most accurate
metaphors for how men
relate to women in this society
committed by men
as a class
against women
as a class
to keep all women in line
this can happen, little girl
you can keep fighting me,
and if that’s the case, i’ll
have to keep my hand
over your mouth and
this knife at your neck,
or you can relax, enjoy
yourself, make this easier
on the both of us
so stop fighting it
looking at me earlier,
the way you stared at me
the way you were dressed
i know what you were thinking
so don’t say a word
were free
i could wait
it’s my turn now
you owe it to me
and no one gets hurt
