From outside Harding Field
I think of the legal brief,
and of the freshman girl
who has had no relief
though surely she has dreams.
The coaches played their teams
for pics and Tweets don’t count
at least not to any amount.
Therefore,
a motion gets filed mid-December
asking the court please remember
she may not be victim, but whore.
