Appropriate Attire (Part 2)
What Were You Wearing?
That is the name
Of an exhibit
Displaying clothing worn
At the time of a rape or assault.
It is a common question
Asked about the
Victim.
For, of course, they
Invited the assault.
If you go to the
Exhibit,
It’s clear there is no
Set or defined appropriate attire
For assault.
So … one might as well
Dress
However you want.
For assault
Is not your fault.
But our society
Blames the victim.
Otherwise,
Anyone, at any time, in
Any attire, might be assaulted.
And THAT is not Appropriate.

Powerful message! Say it louder for the people in the back!
I like both of your Appropriate Attire poems. And YES to both!
