The Shower Afterward
Sorry to be so disturbing to some of you but this is a real life situation that is best drawn to the attention of all those who risk moving alone in secluded areas. Please stop it! These predators have it far too easy. But they are not always strangers; sometimes they are family or “friends” and may take advantage of the circumstances. One really great weapon is a scream. Get it out as loud and as fast as you can.

The Shower Afterward
The beads of perspiration fell Had a pungency as I could tell Each perfectly formed before they dropped
Stop I cried but it never stopped Hundreds of thoughts seem to crowd my head One thought more dominant, I wish I were instead With my friends and family Enjoying their laughter and company Riding through the park was never before
A risk to take but I wouldn’t anymore Fate brought this tragedy This imposing, greasy, smelly body Evading the eyes of all about Ripping away my clothes and hushing my shout When he was finished he ran away All I remember is his smell, dark trousers and his shirt was gray Ravished of my virtues, I wished I were dead Didn’t feel clean, The Shower Afterward didn’t clear my head
