state champion five years in a row

she asks
me if i'm a good kisser.
i laugh,
and pull the phone away
from my ear.
good kisser?
are you kidding me, i was
the state fair champion
for five years
in a row until the accident.
accident?
she says.
yes, i got hit by a foul
ball at a baseball
game,
which made my two lips
uneven,
and broke a few teeth.
so i'm a little sloppy now.
the drool
makes me lose points,
i suggest wearing a bib
if we head
in that direction.
but my kissing booth days
are over.
