11 o’clock Prasannta Priya We are a moment away, From the moment we would call this love, Sitting on the last bench, Of that boring history class, Two inches apart, Our hands entwining, As the rain pours down the leaves, All the kids rushing outside, To look at the wailing sky, So I could look at you, Like a lost tourist, Whose heart resonates, With tracks by the ghetto, I would look at you, Like a child lost in the fair, And you’d look away, Like I have already kissed, Your trembling lips, The moment would pause, As you’d look at me, Wanting to blow a kiss, Biting your lower lip, You’d leave, We’d part, I would end, There in that moment, Like the love that would leave us in a jiffy, Maybe months, or even years from now, Like the local that leaves from New York to New Jersey at 11:00’o clock, So let’s just live this moment, That we share today, Two millimeters apart, From your lips to mine, So let’s drown in this moment, A breath at a time, We can learn how to swim later. 107
