Icon: An Ode

By Amy @amypop · On March 14, 2001

i knew what was coming, weeks in advance.
i knew.
i was prepared.
but still…
could.not.breathe.
palm flat on chest –
heart still beating, thankfully.
cheeks flushed.
Staring.
he did that thing, that thing with his hand.
Staring.
he did that thing, that thing against the wall.
Staring.
he did that thing, that thing with the magazine.
(and you know, i liked the hair.)
two minutes, nine seconds.
five times,
had to remind myself to breathe.
once every-almost-26-seconds.
me, “the biggest skeptic of us all,”
reduced to incoherent babbling,
pathetic whimpers,
blank stares.
dear god, I will never live this down.
but, I guess,
that’s the way lust goes.

PopGurls For Thought

An entire Saturday spent in detention with people you’re not exactly friends with is not exactly a dream for most teenagers. How else do you overcome your differences? Through deep, meaningful conversations and of course: dance. If only I could 80′s dance my way out of work meetings. - Jessica

The Random

I was gobsmacked. My jaw was in my lap. I did NOT expect any show, especially this show, to go there, to flat out say “You are enabling rape culture by what you did.” -- drst
