Rumors

slightly forward you lean

so I can slide my hand

up and under

but in a way that cannot

be seen by anyone around

unless they were sharing

rumors of what we have

before in situations with

which we are presented;

and no one...

least of all in their right minds,

would ever deny that these

rumors might be true,

when they have been working

on their own to defend

and explain once they have

returned to their destinations.
