Sophie Tupholme

and anyways, everyone has them

i have this particular top
that i ‘accidentally’ ‘stole’ from the laundromat
it shows the miniscule peaks
that are my nipples
when i’m in a certain light.
actually,
you can see them
in most lights

i wear it
because i like to see
the illusion of nudity
in banal moments
throughout the day

i wear it
because i like to feel
that quiver
of being turned on
by myself
since it’s safer that way

i wear it
because
i probably look the best i’ll look
ever, i guess
and because
no one has seen my nipples
full on, full out
in a while
and know what

the top was ‘free’
and it’s hot outside
and my nipples are cold often,
somehow

so that’s enough reasons,
if you were wondering
