Dispatches for the Colonial Office
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
Tech company Astronomer launches investigation into 'kiss cam' moment at Coldplay concert - ABC News
