God I was embarrassed.
I thought that I would die.
When you looked down
and saw my open fly.
I turned away quickly
to hide my horror and shame.
I saw your eyes, in their way,
doing exactly the same.
Neither of us spoke.
No one said a word,
but went about our business
as though we hadn't heard
the feeling that flashed between us,
the unspoken words.
I stopped for an instant
and thought to zip my pants
but then The Kid took over
and I continued with the dance.
Some things are hard
to see and say.
I guess this is one.
Damned no matter
which way you turn
and better left undone.
