Hot and Fat

My arms are moist, uncomfortably.

Standing in the humidity of a tiny bathroom after an overdue shower. 

Heat hovers disgustingly around my squeegeed sack; a pink puss of skin.

I thank the mirror for being useless.

Covered like I am beneath a wet disgrace, hiding a face that sweats to stay hidden.

A towel's wipe can only last so long in idle airs.
