Understated Underpants

it’s not that at first sight
they go unnoticed. far
from it. they’re elegant
and even a color upon

which you can’t quite
put your finger. pastel,
i suppose. but yet a past
el that can’t quite be rec

ollected. were they peach?
maybe mango? a very mel
low banana? it just can’t be
remembered. they were more

speedo than boxer-briefs i do
believe? not at all billowy.
nope, they were form-fitting.
the material, in retrospect,

seemed to be quite irrelevant,
insignificant, if not just plain
indeterminable. the only
thing that this keen (i cannot

say that there was any attempt
at being surreptitious) observer
can say with absolute certainty
is that i won’t soon forget them.

it’d be an understatement to say
that they packed quite a punch.
