orange shower
orange skin
spray on sexy
swims to the drain
pale is for the poor
and ugly
ew
I pour my pores with
orange powders
tinted sprays
and liquid light
now I'm
all right
no more plain
white
and I am the
sun-kissed Cindarella,
a beautiful
blond
who glitters for the ball
but watches all her beauty
bashed
as midnight crashed.
sometimes beauty
is a spell,
I think,
as I watch
my tan
swim
to the sink.
