I met a girl
she came from California.

We talked
a really detached situation.
She said years ago
I was so shy
she thought I was gay.
At this point I kissed her
and put my finger to her hole.

I don't know why it was

I made a couple of puns
about her name that made me blush.
But her softness in tone
made me feel all right.

The official version of this poem.

Yes, that matters.

On y second read of this today, it captures that touch of Bukowski but

is fully a Doc story... superb...

As I've pointed out earlier, the poem is in the

Erotic poetry genre, and the characters are influenced by Beatnik and
1980s new wave and punk rock zeitgeist of those e

The poetry is a snapshot from 1982, very different times which you
apparently missed, Pendragon.

Again ^^^

Admittedly

objectifying, insensitive

It was a poem based on a dream in 1982.
Those were different times.

Not at all, it's a very accurate depiction of a rock and roll romance
circa early 1980s

I know because I was there, I lived it.

So you

(False accusations snipped)

No, it was all consensual, read the poem.

Again ^^^

You do not say that it is consensual in the poem

It's a poem, not every detail is included in a poem.

It was very clear it was consensual in the poem.

Again ^^^

For example, the girl didn't slap me or yell at me or anything.

>
That's another classic quote

Just saying she was enjoying my company, obviously.
If  she wasn't enjoying my company she could have easily walked away.

Of course she didn't slap you, yell, or otherwise resist --

Because we were just talking and having a nice time, if she didn't want
to be with me she could just leave.

stoned out of her freakin' mind.

Again, it was a poem about a dream and in both she was very lucid

Just because you weren't the one who slipped a roofie in her drink,

That's definitely just another figment of your delusional imagination,
Pendragon.

doesn't mean that you had any right to take advantage of her when in
that state.

For starters, it's a poem about a dream.
I didn't see any drugs in the dream.

And don't try playing innocent about it.

Play innocent?
I was absolutely innocent of any of these accusations you've making.
You mention, *twice* in your

poem that she looked up at you and "talked real spacey."

She came from California, talking real spacey like one of those Valley
Girls:

I have to go make coffee now, I'll return soon to complete my response
to your critique.
Thanks again for reading and commenting.
