rubber and rubber-remover

at a dimly lit public bath in coney island i went from pool to pool while my friends shuffled upstairs. i tried on someone elses very loud purple geometric 80s business skirtsuit and then tried the different shampoos, one was called hair rubber, it was gray and behaved like flubber, the next was rubber remover. it made my hair beautiful. then normal shampoo and conditioner, all kinds of skin products in the hot and then the lukewarm pools. it wasnt expensive. a good looking young man worked there but i wasnt speaking to him
