[Kissing Booth] a poem

                                                                 A part-time lover

is a full-time fool

& what do you suppose

becomes of a fool’s lover?

What’s an odalisque

if not one to take on the

cadence set by a deception so

necessary for her to cope with

her imprisonment?
