Sassy
sun ready
she’d read
on the can
Virtually
guaranteed
to get
her a man
Summer
Hot nightclubs
or cruising
the beach
Sassy
sun ready
aiming for
Isis
Reading
instructions
doing it
right
Sprayed
and waited
in time
it’d come
Sassy
sun ready
filing
her nails
Sassy
sun ready
flicking
magazines
Until
clocks strike
time for
the reveal
Sassy
sun ready
aghast in
the mirror
Despairs
Screaming
“THAT’S
THE
ORANGEST
FAKE-TAN
I’VE EVER
SEEN”
[From Dan’s prompt: ‘Orangest’]
