NOT/NOT NOT
her legs were open
(not clamped shut)
we believe they kissed & touched
we believe
more likely than not
her verbal expressions
could be considered
moaning
we believe her to be
verbally skilled
we believe her non-
verbal consent
her legs were open
(not clamped shut)
we believe her legs
were open frequently
we believe normal
routine foreplay
his penis was able
to reach her
(her legs were not clamped shut)
& what about all the times
she said no
& he stopped
we believe her frequency
we believe non-verbal consent
(could be considered moaning)
(more likely than not)
although she said
she was afraid
we question whether
she was sincerely
afraid
she said she was afraid
because of that one time—
we believe her to be verbally skilled
we believe her verbal
we believe her verbs
we believe moaning
but we question
if she was ever afraid
(he stood naked
in front of the door)
(he stood naked in front of the door)
(his penis was able to reach her)
she said she was afraid
but her legs were not clamped shut
(he threw his keys across the apartment)
(he threw his keys)
(he stood in front of the door)
because of her behavior
(not clamped shut)
we believe his behavior
(in front of the door)
was not violent or erratic
in fact,
sheslapped him,
& he didn’t even
hit her back
in fact,
her legs were open
to lengthy phone calls
to invitations
& what about all those things he said
about respecting her
body
we believe her calls
her texts
her open legs
we believe she said
“grey-areas-of-consent”
we believe she said “consent”
& he said he has respect
(he stood naked)
(in front of the door)
in fact he didn’t hit her back
& then in the early morning hours
his penis became non-verbal
clamped shut
his penis was able
to reach her
she was awake
in the early morning hours
she was awake
& engaging
(not clamped shut)
she was awake
it was grey
in conclusion
we believe him
we believe more likely
than not
not in violation
we believe
not under force/
not threat of force/
not coerced
we believe
she was not
she was not
clamped
shut
