her smell—
clean, unobtrusive and vaguely pleasant—
chemically-produced lemons.
I’m not offended by it
but I wouldn’t wear it.
I wouldn’t even use it
as an air freshener.
It would probably give me a headache after a while;
if it were any stronger,
any more vibrant and yellow,
then I’ll bet that even just one whiff
would send dizzying
tinglies into
my
brain.
