This gentle friction can strip off thin skin clean
Like a medicine bottle’s label soaking in warm water
Once he touched down, my chest started to burn
Fear of that too small to see, every man is flawed

An apple a day is a drip of poison as another face gets pale
Pavlovian fear of saccharin sweetness, reacting hives from touch
Going over history fills me top to bottom with histamine
Herstory on the inside, we are all intolerant to something.
