Stagey Witchiness
Why bother with salvation when that “blonde”
From bottles does the trick? The Hollywood
Of hocus pocus Harlow’s hair has spawned
One billion knock offs. Even Bollywood
Would try the spell if it could get away
With platinum mandorlas on a face
Of Bengal beauty. Glammed peroxide’s bray
Enhanced by lighting would produce a grace
Parvati might begrudge. Forget the wand
Magicians wave. A wizard is not sought
When in the local supermarket blonde
Can be procured and platinum be bought
For dimes. No woman needs a savior while
A jar of bleach combines with lamplight’s guile.
