Saturday Manicure

acrid stench pur�es the stomach
thighs cramp pushed into pretzels
arms like modern sculpture
obnoxious pink oozes from brush to nail
swipe smooth smear wipe
hobble on heels to get another Dr. Pepper
sprawl on the bathroom floor
book pressed open with the palm of a hand
world treated like a used tissue
scared to touch for fear of fuchsia contamination.
