I like to wear
sweaters in summer
even on the hottest days
even when sitting out by the lake
lazily holding a fishing pole
swatting mosquitoes from my face
and watching the still surface
of the water
hoping to see
the old snapper
raise her head
for another breath
as the fish scurry from her.
When asked
I blame it on Britain
but really
I just don’t like people
seeing my arms.
