Cocoa Brown

Quick and effective: a bottled end of otherness.

glutathione, arbutin, vitamin c and papaya extracts

whiten intensively. rub off thirdworldness.

SPF 25 will protect me from what you called my tropical exoticity.

Quick and effective: a bottled promise of sameness.

Apply generously to the body.

Massage till the cococa colored hide softens

and peels off. White. Pink.

Other than this is exotic.

-but sister, cocoa brown, like rich black is beautiful.

We are not Other beautiful beauty.

Sister, you may take your whitening lotion back.
