the box said clairol
it came with a cap
thinking about gold
and the ocean
tight curls cut close to my head
you said
let's do this girl
i looked in the mirror
the color was yellow and brassy
something out of Crayola
not sun kissed or sexy
my fifteen minutes as a blonde
lasted long enough for you to run to the store
as jokes about being a $2 whore
and return to hunts point
reverberated off of the kitchen walls with laughter
15 minutes was long enough!
