THE LIFE AND TIMES OF RESUSCI-ANNIE

Toward the end
Of senior year—
Required course.
Mannequin victim
To practice on,
Typical of most models:
Only a torso.

One by one,
Approaching in turn.
Gentle shaking,
A cradled neck,
Pinch the nose.
Listen for breathing,
Says she can't feel her legs.

Look at the creep who is trying to take her job -- that's what I want, to be punked (or, since it likely involves something salivary and French, "puncqued") during my CPR class.

All together: "Boundaries, people...!"

Typical of my high school experience, "Annie" actually rejected me with a Heisman trophy stiff-arm. I'll never forget my gym teacher laughing and saying, "Congratulations, Pharris; your lack of appeal to the opposite sex has brought life to an inanimate object."
That was the cause of my first of many failed suicide attempts.
