Girl

The girl with the trumpeter's lips
and the teenage boy clutching her hips
Their physical display on the public right-of-way
No shame, no awareness even
Of older people, older standards, decorum, heathens


Oblivious to onlookers, simple and pure
unfettered with fear, stress or lists of things to do
People older and seemingly disgusted
are quietly jealous of their evident lusting
their grey pigeon holes and their appointment intercourse
bears no pale resemblance to this love found out-of-doors.
