<p><strong><em>We missed the kiss of passion,<br /> It didn&rsquo;t quite connect,<br /> Leaning at an angle,<br /> I nearly kinked my neck.</em></strong></p> <p><strong><em>Walking up steep Percival Street,<br /> Puffing as I went,<br /> After the rehearsal,<br /> Feeling slightly bent.</em></strong></p> <p><strong><em>Cockies on the corner,<br /> In the cool night air,<br /> Printed on the pavement,<br /> Percival&rsquo;s despair.</em></strong></p> <p><strong><em>Winging through the rolling waves,<br /> Weaving up the street,<br /> All done on autopilot,<br /> Whenever strangers meet.</em></strong></p> <p><strong><em>Slowing to a snail&rsquo;s pace,<br /> Seeking out a space,<br /> Parking on a parallel,<br /> Making it my place.</em></strong></p> <p><strong><em>One step after the other,<br /> For the last ascent,<br /> Whisper quiet the key glides in,<br /> I wonder where you went.</em></strong></p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/poeticessences/smooth-as-1c4ffa2d9546">Website</a></p>
