day SIX HUNDRED and FIFTEEN

65 women
came To
Kavanaugh’s Defense

were they there
in that room
to stop that
that, that

thing

there was one

crying, trying
to scream

but you can't scream
when he covers your mouth

this isn't consensual

this wasn't mutual
when two
two, two

things

force you in a room
try to rape you

these 65 women
weren't there

this one woman
is still there

this thing is
raping her
every time
she tries not
to think about it
