she told me her dreams 5

I was back at my college town
with some women from a sorority
we took pillows outside to the top of

a cliff, to enjoy homecoming
my friends, a woman and her
boyfriend, were at the bottom

of the cliff, at the lake, swimming
one of the women from the sorority
rested on a big pillow on a rock

then the man from the lake came
up the cliff to me, told me the
woman in the lake wanted me to

come down the cliff and swim with
them, and then he tried to drag me
down the side of the cliff

I was afraid I was going to fall
I was screaming, I was resisting
why is he pushing me, why is she

watching
