Betrayed With a Kiss-Cam
And the sunlight clasps
the earth
And the moonbeams kiss
the sea:
What is all this sweet
work worth
If thou kiss not me?
-Shelly, “Love’s Philosophy”
A kiss is just a kiss, as
Dooley Wilson sang
In a Casablanca that never
was
A kiss to give one’s life a
bit of tang
A kiss to set a lonely heart
abuzz
But great unwashed mobs stacked
in their masses
Close-looped in a failed sub-culture
of dust
Metal in their noses and tattoos
on their asses
Can never find truth without
a trace of trust
For love can never depend
upon
The vigilante cruelty of a
jumbo-tron

'kiss cam' moment at Coldplay concert - ABC News
