I don't want to remove my clothes
I don't perspire much, I'm old
I've left behind fever
I've small defense against cold
I pretend the green house is tropical
limes and lemon blossoms collude
if I slept here as does my cat
clothes might be optional
I go to bed with socks and sweater
stripping as I warm to flannel sheets
in the morning I can dress before embarking
from the heat of the night nest
