A poem by Len Kuntz

Your swift kiss tastes a lot like prohibition.
My pincushion eyes have a hard time centering on
your hockey puck pupils.
But now you are laughing
like a drunk hyena.
Someone somewhere has said something hilarious
or maybe you’re just remembering.
I want to be your skin for a week,
go shopping where you shop,
work with you at your place of employment,
touch the people you touch,
the lover who knows how to
make you laugh like that.
Especially him.
