TRANSITORY

The scars under my arms are from the endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy surgery I underwent, to remove the sweat glands in my palms, because I used to have palmar hyperhidrosis which means I used to perspire incessantly from my palms, they perspired extensively and all the time. I would wet exam papers, other people’s hands, gadgets, I spoiled my laptop keyboard because the sweat would pool up. There are some stories that, whenever I tell someone who is only transitory in my life, I wonder when I will be able to stop. I wonder when I will stop meeting another new man who will ask me why I have scars under my arms.
