Day 353 prompt: Slick

your cologne
takes me back

to tenth grade
chemistry
and the smarmy
junior
who was failing
the class
again

maybe
because
he spent
all his lab time
proposing
extracurricular
activities
to his lab
partner

he couldn’t sell
a Friday night
in his
Trans-Am
and
you can’t sell
a three-year lease
on a Prius

must
be
that
cologne
