my uncle cracked
a smile
when I asked if
I could have the calendar
tacked to
his garage wall
“why?”
“because I like it”
“no, he said,
you don’t need that”
I never asked
what he thought
when I asked, if
he even remembered
me asking,
but suspected
he took pause
to alleviate the
awkwardness
I might have
explained right off
what I actually
wanted
was to sketch
the nudes,
especially the twins,
but thought he
wouldn’t understand
the infatuation
