I’VE OFTEN HEARD OF THE “FIRST KISS”, WHICH I’VE NEVER HAD<br />

PEOPLE INSIST UPON THE EVENT’S ORIGINALITY…<br />

...AND THAT IT LEAVES A STEAMY MEMORY AND INDELIBLE MARK ON THE LIPS…


The big day<br />

Propelled by my steroid hormones<br />

And guided by common sense<br />

I wanted <strong>to</strong> make an amorous conquest<br />

on the eve of my 20th birthday<br />

Like all those vamps<br />

Towards that end, I had been through<br />

my list of old flames<br />

In order <strong>to</strong> stave off any possible failure


This night has <strong>to</strong> be lucky<br />

Or I’ll force it <strong>to</strong> become lucky<br />

We had cigarettes<br />

Cheese sticks<br />

And beer<br />

The fourth bottle successfully put my conscience <strong>to</strong> sleep


Two days after that famous night<br />

I don’t know if I s<strong>to</strong>le it or if it was a kiss based<br />

on mutual accord and shared desire<br />

All that remains is the tentative euphoria of an<br />

uncertain glory...if not a missed opportunity.
