I kissed a boy in the park today,
he spoke Italian and I spoke French
the way I always wanted to,
but both of us well understood,

that sometimes life catches you that way.

I kissed a boy in the park today,
all my neighbours frowned & turned away
but the birds were singing as the foxes play
for both of us have understood

that sometimes life catches you that way,

I kissed a boy in the park today,
he kissed me back, I couldn’t turn away
he has the greenest eyes I have ever seen
while my heart took sudden fish like leaps

& he said he couldn’t breathe for wanting me.

For both he and I have understood
that sometimes life catches you that way
& there is nothing better to do or say
but grab with both hands when it comes your way

& thank life and spring for tasting so good.
