The Skivvies

Every year I had to

acclimatise

and every year I had to get used to

being slightly

strangled.

The first days of winter

even cold autumn days

induced a gentle

retching

as I swallowed inside my fetching

skivvies.

Soon

though

I was used to them so

I wore them

the season

through.
