An Observed Sidewalk Kiss

Dance on Pavement

They were only going for a drive

or to the store

but he grabbed her with a ferocity

that seemed rough

but was instead a wanting so strong

that he needed to reach out

and take her

in his arms and kiss her neck in the middle of

the sidewalk

working up to her lips as

they both smiled.

As they went to their respective sides of the truck

(she drove)

He said:

Oh, I have chocolate on my shirt.
