POEM: HAIR LOUNGE
1/
The old man praised
The young lady
For never cutting her hair
She only trimmed the ends
The young lady
Guarded the waiting room
As we entered
There were no chairs
But her hair
Which was our rest
We waited for hours
And soon flowers
Sprouted from her braid crests
We laid as
Seasons passed
And forgot why we teased
Her with our presence
2/
The last time I saw you
Was like Chernoble
In a pill
It was the last thing
I'd thought I'd do
If it was up to my will
The pill dropped
Into my chambers
And air aviaries
It plunged through
Heating cooling systems
For purifying inner prairies
The corridors of
Gastric floors
Soon would have a stain
That would descend
To my toes and up
Into my brain
3/
Have you ever met
Someone before
They starred in your dreams?
It is as though reality
Was forecasting
Your sleepy paths
The bland schedule
Like a crystal ball
Predicted your next shows
And all the random
Disconnects
Would soon become
A reverse braid
4/
We all
Brave humans
Slip into a downward spiral
We share our touches
Hidden clutches
Like a public bath
The air transcends
Our dodgy bends
And unifies isolation
As we comb
No one owns
Our straightened time
5/
H
a
i
r
And the death of the matter
Becomes its beauty
Calendars of
Long flowing
Curly quirky days
Do our words die
When we speak?
Is it this narrow strand
Of willowy beauty they mimic?
Cutting quibbles
Laughs and giggles
Conversation confections
From every side
Like language
Ever changing in style
A priceless perch
Of age and youth
