On Tara Reade, Joe Biden, and Groping

Someone said it's uncommon:
What happened to Tara.
Or.
It's "just groping".

I think about every day in middle school
Boys who "just groped" my 11 year old body.

The 17 year old in the car.
Xmas dance.
Favorite Dress.
Just Groping.

Did you think it wasn't common?
We don't come forward
Because shit like it happens
every day.
Too Common.
So common we apologize for it.
We're sorry we existed in a female body.
