Neither of us says boo until we pull up in front of Morgan's house
No word breaks the silence after the car is parked, and
We make our way toward Morgan's front door
Upon entering the living room
It's plain to see that a party is underway, and
As everyone is older than me, I don't know a soul, so
My face wears a shy smile until
Morgan's parents spy me, walk over and
Welcome me, warmly, with a comforting hello
While asking after my parents and grandma, they walk us toward

My face wears a shy smile until
Morgan's parents spy me, walk over and
Welcome me, warmly, with a comforting hello
While asking after my parents and grandma, they walk us toward
An open doorway, leading toward
A staircase that descends into a finished 'rec' room, and
As we make our way down the stairs
A staircase that descends into a finished 'rec' room, and
As we make our way down the stairs
I see a teen aged couple dancing dreamily, swaying sensuously,
Hip to hip, to a slow song—a top ten on the hit parade—and
That's when it dawns on me that
I have no clue what the heck I'm doing in this room
Alone with these three people, two of whom
I've never met ...
