I Dressed Especially Carefully that Night  


I dressed especially carefully that night  

Like a toreador before a bull fight 

Put on my soft brown twill jumper dress  

Black silk blouse to match, ruffles at the neck  

An extra stroke of the brush through my long hair  

You picked me up at the San Jose airport Drove 

me to the San Jose State fraternity house Fresh 

young faces, hot fast pulsating music:  

“Hey, baby, wha’d I say” Ray Charles raised the tempo  

Drinks consumed in a flash like the look in your eyes  

As we danced hot, fast, bodies touching  

You towered over me at six foot three  

Such a hunk; a ladies’ man  

Hips grinding out a sensual beat  

We laughed; bodies hot, juices flowing 

Such a stud, never missed a beat  

Time spun by; the house went dark  

A hand grabbed mine; pulled me into a room Bobby, 

where were you? I was alone.  

I fought and shrieked while your friend raped me  

Left me on a bed naked as the wind that raked my hair  

Knocking naked at the house next door  

The elderly couple scared as could be  

“Can you send a taxi to the Alpha Delta house?”   

I covered my body with shaking hands  

Ran back to the fraternity house My 

soft brown jumper dress, panties  and 

bra waited for me  

“I called the police!” I screamed My 

purse and silk blouse shoved though 

a crack in the door.  

Such courtesy.
