Risque Business

The subway steams in August heat.
At 3 A.M. a lover’s tryst.
Alone at last two in one seat.
The subway steams in August heat.
Their limbs entwine and hips entreat.
He strokes her hair and steals a kiss.
The subway steams in August heat.
At 3 A.M. a lover’s tryst.

When I saw this movie during this scene you could have heard a pin drop...the sexual tension in the room was overwhelming...and yet we "saw" nothing.... a marvel of acting, directing & filming & goodness the sound track!
