They were quietly getting it on
in the last row
and we all knew it,
but we thought back to when
we got it on in the trailer
with friends “sleeping” three feet away,
or when we held our breath in the closet
as we sat in there clutching each other
when a parent came home early from work,
or how we lay together so still in the bushes
hoping no one would miss us from the party
for very long,
then turned our faces away
and tried to handle our own business
without letting on that we knew.
