Ms. Uste. (Yes, lame title.)

Gang, here's the "rape" poem that I previously alluded to. I don't really remember what I meant by the final two lines, so you can just disregard them. There was a point to it, but I don't remember. Some word choices might be awkward, this is because they have some multiple meanings which have developed through misuse. We had an exercise out of a usage book... We took problematical words and put them in poems. (i.e. - comprised = "embraced" - thrust (obvious sexual connotation) - fixed = "hard, rigid" - most unique = "most" is needless here)

- - - - - - - - - -

She said she felt compromised
(when he comprised! but
as a man, he surmised
that she could care quite less)
even though tears were begging in her eyes.

Taking this ill-thought consent and
enthused, he disregarded her.
Fixed within his haughty glare
And fixed, the thrust he utilized

As conqueror, he
organ-ized.

Her words unstable seemed to creep,
“I will surely die,” they came muttered
inaudibly,
“He shall surely fall to sleep
because he couldn’t care less
while I weep.”

And how she thought herself most unique!

A man is unable to think,
they must all act as one.
