Between the hem of my skirt
and the top of my socks
is the coldest part of me
but I must expose my knees
for some reason?

They warm up quickly
when he sits next to me
he probably thinks
I wear the trousers

If only he'd look more
he'd notice
I don't
they're baring all
and they're not like ice
or sore
but crying out
“warm me”
for some reason

He should wear shorts
then we could talk of knees
and needs
like mine for him
to sit next to me
