learning about love

we were talking about the skin

the professor
came to the topic of glands

“several different types of sweat glands…
apocrine sweat glands are located in the armpits, groin, …
secretions…
body odor…
active during emotional sweating and sexual activity…”

even in a room full of adults
adolescence is never far away

usually in the back seat
driving

the class protested with laughter
“B.O. doesn’t turn me on!”


i sat with a quiet smile


all i could think about
was the old t-shirt
you sent to me in the mail
when we lived 6 states apart
