Five in the car we piled

The drive of excitement arouse

Cops were sitting on the street

Behind the fence, it did not show

A peace sign to the eyes

A secret

A friendship in the making

A night to smile

Eleven o’clock the Time Warner Cable box gleamed

She wore what is cool and I wore whatever

We laughed

The night progressed and

we danced and chatted


A peace sign to the eyes

A secret

A friendship in the making

A night to smile


Monday I came to school

Class after class

There she was

I smiled and signed



A peace sign to the eyes

A secret

A friendship in the making

A night to smile


“What are you doing?”

“Our sign?”

“That wasn’t me.”

I knew it was.


No peace sign to the eyes

No secret

No friendship in the making

No smile


I do no speak to her

Three years of silence

Her friends are not mine

That is just assumption




No peace sign to the eyes

No secret

No friendship in the making

No smile
