********************************************************************************
I did not know
when I said “yes”
that the ring around my finger
would become
the yoke around my neck
voicing my opinion led him to object
and say
“DON’T SPEAK!”
sometimes without even saying a word.
and the sergeant he was busy
had no time to hear my words.
others tried to twist them
or add to them with theirs
the dancer groped my body
because he didn’t like my mind
Others changed the subject
to a topic more benign,
even my family tried to shut me up
(wow, I must be dangerous)
So
I wrote
a book.
