first kisses

by Anastasia Shows

first kisses can be so
AWKWARD.
CUTE.
NATURAL.
FORCED.
SLOPPY.
WRONG.

a lean in,
misguided
cheek graze,
on a non-date
mistaken for a date.

a magnetic pull
destined lock of
lips...
months in the making
followed by the question
"Am i doing this right?"

the look down,
eye-wobble tango
between two longtime friends
before the inevitable
destined kiss.

a quick smooch
goodbye
through the car window
after one night with
a former crush.

the drunken tongue dance
between you
and
a younger man.

a mouth rape
out of nowhere
in the front seat from
your best friend's ex.

the consequences of
losing a bet
after one of those
one A.M. telephone calls.

and yet..
no matter what the situation
person
or
consequence maybe
there just isn't anything
so thrilling as
THAT
1st kiss
to me.

I loved the mini-vingettes. This was at the same time sweet and a bit disturbing, but very very entertaining!
