LOVE AMERICAN STYLE

The gentleman roll up their socks

And place them carefully in their shoes.

While the ladies hang their coats

With quiet discretion – making love

with unknown partners in a backroom

conversation seems unthinkable.

I’m lost in the shuffle of body parts

And you – with your fingers playing

The woman beside you like a violin

It makes me burn inside, afraid to speak.

If I speak, fire may escape from my mouth

If I speak, you may extinguish me forever.

Shhhhhhhhhh........
