Thanks for your detailed feedback, I used some of it in my revision. In this poem, the Sagadahoc and the Hudson are rivers, not counties, but I've altered the poem slightly to make it more clear because of your expert truck driver feedback. Man, I would love to be a truck driver for a month or two, think of all of the stories you can tell, and all of the music and books on tape you could catch up on. I had a boyfriend who was a truckdriver years ago, and I appreciated his tales from the front, what an interesting subculture. I can understand your screenname better now, too.
Anyway, there is something called a "startle reflex"- it is what makes babies spread both arms suddenly, so it is not that the passengers have startled reflexes, the jolts have aroused their startle reflexes (like when you are sleeping and think you are falling- My startle reflex always goes crazy on bus travel).
As far as oral possibilities go, oral is the only kind of sex that would be hindered by a period, don't you think? These two would definitely have all other forms of intercourse in spite of period blood. Thanks for your compliments, too.
