Herbal Essences

[For Carmen]

Dear Herbal Essences,

OH OH OH OH OH YES.

Does that sound familiar? All those times you were there for me in just that right way, running through my hair, teaching me things about my scalp I didn't know existed, the way I could almost flex it in your luxuriant caresses. I can have that whenever I want with you. It's marvelous. You're so unassuming about it all, too. Back in the day when you were covered in flowers, there was an innocence about you, but I could see through it. Now with this new approach, this new hipster thing, all these block colors and these pretend-witticisms, it's sassy, but it's so young-looking. Well, let it stay. I only saw your silky moves, you didn't seem old to me, but it brightens me up just a little more. It's like a joke, just between us to, and to everyone else it's just your thing, your affectation, that covers up your true mastery of the top-most of me.

Soap me up and wash me down,
Noren
