DIDACTIC: "BURDEN OF PURCHASED BEAUTY" BY RADICAL

Redolent deodorant galloped like a spear

shot into my nostrils;

cordoned by spikes of peeping hairs,

strong perfume trouser coughed into her armpits.

Body lotions'

fragrance

assailed the sense of smelling,

forcefully

coercing eyes to ferret

source of the untamed smell.

Encroaching territories

of the unknown.

Eyes almost jumped from the head

upon arresting

awkwardly painted visage,

with strong nausea colors

layers of foundation carelessly

like dust brutaly 

but futilely 

hide the antonym of beauty!

Modern beauty!

irony clad perfumes

strangulate 

the artificial purchased beauty.

like a tie

snaked around the neck.

Eyes popped,

with outstretched wide arms,

volunteering to prop

 behinds,

threatening to  fall.
