The Complainant lost [the more parties continued to take from her]
[Fitting, isn't it, that the party to which the woman was forced to belong
is called a Complainant? Ha ha women and all their complaining ha ha]
That Complainant
[that girl]
That Complainant
[that girl]
The other side of Complainant
[that girl cleaved through]
Her legs were opened—
[not open, but a thing done to]
We believe the parties [we believe the penis]
The Panel acknowledges that a person is not obligated
[the Panel acknowledges that a girl is not a person]
The Complainant said
The Complainant told [how dare she]
The Panel questioned if
[she was afraid she was afraid]
The Panel does not support her
The Panel does not believe
The Complainant continued [nonetheless]
The Panel found Complainant to be
well-spoken [good girl]
The Complainant was known to espouse strong beliefs
[hush now, that's enough now, sweetie]
[The Panel finds consent to be merely belief—]
: an idea that is believed to be true or valid without positive knowledge
Near antonyms, see: fact, truth
[when they even position the dictionary against you]
The Panel does not believe
The Panel does not believe
The Panel believes
in control
The Panel concludes: no violation [but their own]
The Panel found Complainant to be a violation—
a woman
clamped shut beneath all this believing
every party but hers
