The irregularity of white dots in lines
on the burgundy base of your shirt
makes you think they're a script.

Could be,
but you'd just been thinking
'calligraphy'.
'Beautiful writing'
from Greek kallos, beauty.

Callipygous comes from kallos too;
and Greek for 'buttock', 'pyge'
(said pie-gee or pie-ghee) .

Kallypygos, you see,
by another name
is Aphrodite.
