So, if
you’re in the back yard bushes
of some high school house party
and you’re blowing some guy
you just met
because you’re really drunk
and he says you have nice eyes
and he’s getting a little rough
with his hands
and calling you names
and then suddenly
some girl
– you think your cousin knows her –
comes falling out the sky
crashing on the guy
and bruising your throat
you can just accept that as your bottom
and realize that you might need some help.

Don’t get into that guy’s car
because he says
"the party’s kind of played out
don’t you think?"
and go off to a second location
without telling anyone at all,
all right?

All right?
Please?
