the cylindrical bulb purrs radiant blue // cure me of this sallowness, I beg //
while investing in carcinogen // and a bottle of Coconut Kiss

a Playboy bunny sticker adhered just right // my ass cheeks’ new pet //
I won’t vouch for the institution // but I’ll brand myself with it

irony mounts hypocrisy and grinds to completion // at the Cabana Tan®
