here is everything i think that kissing a girl tastes like:
- politics - memory - me (i am one) it doesn't taste like hiding anymore, but it tastes like - finding it - cachaça it tastes like - blankets - threats and Instagram comments
it does not taste like - pornography - pixels - home - or safety it tastes a lot more like - wet - muscle - over there... way over there - footsteps. it is like THIS, if THIS came with a pause button girl kissing girl kissing girl
in a country
my country tastes like - ndole - cocoyam - cocoyam inside cocoyam - palm oil and borders and gunfire kissing a girl tastes like -a problem- another problem
- news agencies - white people - screens
- not sex, but a heartbeat - and perfume
for women like me? that is everything, i think kissing a girl will taste like.
