I met a girl
she came from California.

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

Yes, that matters.

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

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

I don't think so at all, 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 eras.

The poetry is a snapshot from 1982, very different times which you

objectifying, insensitive

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

So you sexually assaulted a woman you barely knew

No, Pendragon, again, you're either confused or attempting a lying

The events in the poem were based on a dream I had in May of 1982.

As I've tried to explain to you at least a dozen times.

And as I've tried to explain to you, your poem depicts a sexual assault
on a "girl" in a positive light.
It doesn't matter if the assault happened in a dream.
Your poem is still presenting it as both acceptible and romantic
behavior.
