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.
