will lift you
peel you
fast or slow
her mission statement reads
"To boldly go where no dermatologist has been"
venturing bravely into
the intertidal zone
of ridopuncture
microdermic radon
and electromagnetism,
Ermina will draw the iron from your soul
de-rust your very bones
with her Harvard MBA she'll apply
rational methods to your exfoliation
wrinkles will suffer the wrath
of Agent Orange
while good skin stays safely
in strategic hamlets.

Finally
in the bare hills and hollows
of your intimate terrain
red veins and freckles will lie exposed
to Ermina and

her friendly-fire.
