Teasing Nacho's face
Hoshi's feet in white socks, soles
faintly stained: Nacho
thinks, "He grimes those soles for me,
"for my romantic pleasure."

Author's Notes/Comments:
During the Spring term of my freshman year, the unusually early warmth allowed many of us on campus to attend classes, or visit the Dining Hall, shoeless. Those who wore white socks discovered that, eventually after many washings, a faint shadow of sole grime permanently attaches to the fabric. Those of us who preferred dark socks, or bare feet, avoided that phenomenon.
