being naked

it's awkward
being naked
in front of people
especially
the first time
you are about to
make love.
you prefer
dim lighting,
maybe an overhead
fan for some
sort of wind
distraction.
liquor should
be involved
and lots of pillows.
it wasn't always
that way,
when you were
eighteen
and had the body
of a greek
god you'd do
jumping in jacks
in front
of your new love,
then ask her
to do a few too.
