10I wish I'd kissed you when I had the chance. \
11Your face hovering there, so near to mine, \
12your mouth pursed---what word was it you pronounced?
13
14When I think about you, something in my pants \
15tightens, and my thoughts run, and I realize \
16I should've kissed you when I had the chance.
17
18I want that moment never to be past \
19like Keats's lovers on the grecian urn: \
20his mouth pursed, her figure turned to pronounce
21
22her hips in ways that are not feminist. \
23But time strolls mildly on, not glancing at my \
24wish to kiss you when I had the chance,
25
26whispered like a beggar to a prince \
27outside his palace: time looks up to the sky, \
28purses his lips, and hears what I pronounce
29
30but pays it little mind. If he would just \
31turn back, bend down, and follow my design, \
32I would have kissed you when I had the chance, \
33as your mouth pursed and you pronounced goodbye.
