Kiss, Kiss, Senator Mitch
When Doris Day dances around that movie bedroom
in “The Man Who Knew Too Much,”
swirling around in her pretty white dress, smiling and singing
Que Sera, Sera —
as if nothing really matters because
What Will Be Will Be — I always want to scream. Look
when love or cancer, or the crazy guy with a gun
runs towards us, smacking his lips
kiss, kiss —
we’re always surprised —
but goddammit, never close your eyes.
