Institutionalized Rape
stop calling them boys.

Reduced to usable parts,
advertised as free goods—
no consequences.
The institution held up
its end of the bargain
to protect the sons
of wealth and power.
“Free
pussy
upstairs”
Words to live by.
If you’re famous,
grab ‘em by the pussy.
If you’re not,
just wait your turn.
If she seeks justice,
prosecute her to
protect the perpetrators.
Then question why
women
remain silent.

Intrusive rhyme bothers me, except as a weapon.
Intertextuality is my passion.
Formalist/ New Critical are my guiding theories.
