All of the men were in bed together
and the women, too, in bed in another boat.
The children were in a small dingy tied
to the two big boats, trailing behind.
We could not see them very well in the evening light.
It was not part of the question anyway;
it was also none of our business.
In some of the new movies gangs of thugs
are shown satisfying the sexually starved.
This is of no practical use.
People who watched from the shore thought
the two boats full were making their escape,
but it was just a one-night cruise, just
for the hell of it and not like old times.
