Love Is Grand

So Ardently Kissing
(for Ms. Yossarian)

They lingered near the bushes
At the back of the building,
Avoiding the light
So that no one would see
How glazed his eyes were,
How big his heart was,
When he held her for the first time.

Not to mention
That the new lovers
Didn’t wish to be seen by strangers
To be so ardently kissing,
So wildly deep-tongue kissing,
That they didn’t even know their own names.
