all these polyester blends must go

it took

you nearly a lifetime

of itching

and scratching to finally

understand,

that cotton

is the way to go, with perhaps

a smidgen

of spandex

in the mix.

many women have

told you

such, but you waved them

off with

a dismissive

slight of hand and thought

to yourself,

pffft,

what do they know?

but now you know.

whether it's sheets

or shirts,

pants

or underwear.

cotton is king, or queen

depending on

your sex at

birth, i suppose.

a little cloud of talcum

powder

helps too.
