rape education two

I told a friend
that I worked for
acquaintance rape action groups

she confided in me
told me that she was raped
when she was sixteen

you see, it went like this:
her boyfriend was 23
she was just in high school
and she was drunk
and she didn’t know what to do

and all I could think
was that more and more people
are telling me
stories like this
