when you press your mouth on mine (i'm a teenage boy)

when you press your mouth on mine
my mouth is pink and round like yours
my shoulders are small snails hooked on a coat rack
my back is a pale tulip

but when you press your mouth on mine
my mouth is hard and chapped and brown
my shoulders are wide sharp shovels
my back is a desert continent

when you press your mouth on mine
i'm kissing you back

but when you put your mouth on mine
i'm breaking in two

when you press your mouth on mine
i'm your best friend
i'm with you

but when you press your mouth on mine
i'm too young for you
i'm at your mercy
