When your father tells you your butt is too big
Eat the last piece.
Do not look down.
When the girl with stripper heels gives you the up-down
Do not punch her in the face
Laugh
Do not look down
When the cute boy with the girl friend blocks you in the stairwell
Duck and run
Do not blush.
Do not smile.
Do not look down.
When he gives you bruises
To match the roses
Leave.
Lock the doors.
Call the police.
Do not look down
When they mock you for too big clothes and dumpster diving
Do not apologize.
Do not blush.
When he offers you a drink
Do not say yes
Pour the whisky down the drain
When you’ve worn out
Your last welcome
At the last friend’s house
Go to a gas station
Ask for a quarter and a phone book
Go home
When they say you walked out of a magazine
Believe them
When the homeless man asks you to marry him
Do not say yes
Give him a cheese burger
And a sleeping bag
When your mother tells you she has cancer
Kiss her
Do not cry
Work, cook, clean, pay the bills
Do the laundry
Do not let you baby sister miss one piano lesson
When your mother tells you she has cancer
Kiss her
Do not cry
Work, cook, clean, pay the bills
Do the laundry
Do not let you baby sister miss one piano lesson
When you see the mugging
Do not intervene
Call the police
When your father tells you your butt is too big
Eat the last piece.
Do not look down.
