ChappedLips

~ Harlan Didrickson 

It’s interesting this 
now that you’ve 
pointed it out 
that I lick
my lips right 
before taking a
sip of coffee 
like I do 
right before I 
too kiss you 
and you’re right 
I was wrong 
to blame you 
for my chapped 
lips because you 
are so kissable 
but you have 
to share some 
of the blame 
with the coffee
