Self-Guided Study
You undress in a box of light. This is another wisdom you teach. This is extra credit. Your body is sweet cheese advertised in a dozen different sparkling traps, in pantsuits and convertibles, between vertical blinds, and I wait around the edges, careful not to touch. Not now. Later, when the spring sleeps.
