Triolet for the Creaturette I have become obsessed with my skin, the need to keep it green and pristine. I have become obsessed with my skin, compulsively inspecting every inch for fins. I have become obsessed with my skin, the need to keep it green and pristine downing bottle after bottle of chlorine.
