the secret rendezvous

for as long
as i can remember,
playing sports at the local parks,
basketball 
until the sun went down
i can still see
the cars parked in the shadows
of trees
along the gravel lots
where the married men
and women,
met secretly.
the windows rolled,
the darkness of their lives
unfolding before us,
but we were children,
ignored, for
what were we to know
or care
this was their world,
our eyes gave them 
little to worry about,
they had no fear.
