STEALING KISSES

stealing kisses in youth

running around apartment

courtyards playing soccer

football, tag trying not

to catch cooties

as the teen boys

with their flowing locks

strutted skinny in

tight t-shirts and jeans

flirting with the teen girls

as they laughed, giggled

covered their faces

ignoring us pre-teen boys

until we stole a kiss

chasing us, hitting us

before returning

to the teen boys
