What Would You
Have Done?

I had a thought today
When we were taking
Our showers at the bathhouse
What would you have thought
What would you have done
What would you have said
If I'd have asked you
To join me in my stall
Would you have said yes
Would you have come to me
Would you have cared what
Anyone might have thought
Would we have taken
Each other
Behind that thin
White curtain
With the water running
So tell me
I want to know
What would you have done

Or if I'd have asked you to
Sit on the bench across
From the shower stalls
If I had pulled the curtain
Out of the way
Would you have watched
Me bathe myself
Would you have watched
Me masturbate
Would you have
Had to join me
Or would you have
Had to masturbate
So tell me
I want to know
What would you have done
