shaming cream

squirting out to hands and legs
applying dollops liberally
to naked limbs, and back
and neck
and rub the slickness
simply richly swimmingly
until it buffs
to glow and blush
of knowing rose,
this stuff
is what makes nakedness
sit sinfully
beneath one's clothes.
It's what makes us
so fearful of exposure,
whoops! An accident
we swear, we'd never show
our stuff. We keep it
under all we wear.
But where did we come
up with this? How did
humanity invent
this shaming cream
applied in dreams
it won't wash off
embarrassment
