False Advertising By Cristiane Sobral
Translated From Portuguese By John Keene
The first time I kissed It was my girlfriends who kissed They invented a flavor, a style, a smell My lips weren’t there. The first time I kissed The prince was chosen by these dreaming girls He was a jerk to me A toad, a dragon that spat its fire on me I don’t know what it was like They didn’t see my closed eyes I wasn’t there.
