He asked me how I liked it today-- from the back or front? He wanted to know why-- too small or didn't last? He said he knew, so I shouldn't lie to him-- as if I was less than him. What's a ****** to do when the rumors peg her as a **** She can't ignore the whispers, or the blatant accusations: *Now we all know how ***** she really is.* It's been twenty-four hours, and already the **** is coming with dogs, chained, in their heels, makeup streaked and lipstick smudged. He releases the ******* But they don't wait for the cover of night to bite, no, they lunge at noon in the crowded hallways teeth of words, power of the sideways glance, venom of whispers, bullets of pointed fingers He needs a new name for the list, his quota is short-- because when a girl becomes single, she is an updated item on the auction: Name: Lilith experience: 1 guy(s) skills:      hands: 4/10      tongue: 6/10      on top: 3/10      bottom: 7/10 volume: loud Her reputation is spoiled-- the way her friends talk to her, the invites she gets to hang out, the fact that no one wants to talk to a **** Welcome, little ****** to the Virtue Laments.
