Squeezed between office buildings
On lower Broadway
Desolate and out of the way
Faint neon sign marks the place

I’d kissed at least one boy by age fourteen.
Disappointment was the taste it left.
Although it was short, it was far from sweet.
In contrast, my second kiss was lengthy.
Its honey lingered in my mouth all night.
