Among Men by Jason Shinder

Even at the moment
of kissing a girl
because

I was a boy--
there was always
another boy

looking to see
how long
I could place

my lips
on her lips
without stopping

without ever knowing
I was kissing
And then

what to tell the guys
coming out
of their coats,

asking, How'd it go?
Meaning:
did I get any?

Why don't you
just get laid?

my father said.
