THE KISS

I placed my lips to hers

Like I’d seen on TV…

Surprised and delighted

As her tongue met mine

And I finally knew

What kisses were about

How do you know how

To do something if you’ve

Never seen it done right?

In a nation afraid to be

Honest about love and sex

I know that honesty is best
