not prepared for anything here on out

The poet's job is to penetrate and expose

but what if I am just ivy still crawling

up and over a fence my mother built?

Women who've been sexually abused

have higher rates of constipation because

their pelvic muscles are tight and stiff.

Yet, mother said if a man tries to rape me

to just piss my pants, or better, shit. Disgust him.

A cursory porn search shows it might excite.

Another piece of would-be sound advice

                 but the body physically cannot.
