Who painted red white and blue on my love life?
We went on dates and held hands
We kissed in the snow and sent chills up warm backs.
Who’s lobbying for wrapping necks like birds
and touching souls so close they blur?
Which congressman decides if we can
butterfly or Eskimo kiss,
or kiss on the lips
while flowers bloom and burn in bliss…?
How do they vote on passion
love
beauty
sex?
No, don’t put your democratic lens
on my body next to hers
on my inhales of her exhales
on my neck craned to the sky
tell me
WHY
Is this political?
Next time you debate the rights of 2 lovers,
Leave my name out of your policy-smitten mouth.
