What's Real Is This

have you ever done push-ups
on a speeding train?
hung from the luggage racks,
got off at the wrong stop?
gone all the way to the ends of the line
just to see what's out there?
(it's corn, in all directions.)
have you ever kissed a boy,
kissed a girl the next second
just to compare their lips
just to see which you prefer
just to see what's real?
what's real is this:
i kissed you in the cornfield
beside the broken bridge
where the traffic stopped
where the volunteer sunflowers
come up for the season
and what's real is this:
you kissed me back
