Don’t keep the secret

The secret recipe
to consent
is not that hard:

Just read the signals
When in doubt, ask:
Do you like this?

When you can’t read signals
Ask:
Is this okay?

Add some genuine interest
in the well-being of the other
(a great first base – have you tried it?)

Don’t forget
to keep reading
until the happy end
– the plot may change
so stay aware

The secret recipe
to consent
is not that hard

– no cooking class needed

Napowrimo.net suggested this as an optional prompt today: “I’d like to challenge you to write a “concrete” poem – a poem in which the lines and words are organized to take a shape that reflects in some way the theme of the poem.” A great idea, but not for me. But I’ll add an illustration where I at least combine image and text.

I’m looking forward to what the other participants create!
