this is why
because it was clear immediately
(you know where)
because Billy said so
because kissing you
because I have all this rice & a wok
& some seaweed & lots of chopsticks
because there are some forces no one can stop,
especially when no one is trying
because I keep trying to write this poem
(I’m worried it was better in my head)
because kissing you
because once I didn’t; I turned back
at the airport gate & I still regret it
because everyone deserves this
(even if not everyone thinks so)
because once you came up behind me
as I cooked, encircled me in your arms
because of the lingering scent on my sheets
because kissing you
