bringing the shirt to my face,
I clasp it
over my nose and mouth the way
I imagine people would do in some kind of smoky emergency,
like a wildfire or a collapsing building, which is a thing
I'm not sure of,
never having been in any such emergency,
though I'm confident I have the right form.
in much that same way,
I'm uncertain if
the smell I'm getting is of cologne
or of sweat
or of fabric.
