“PLEASE—CAN WE MEET, TOMORROW?”

 On Saturday  something took hold of me—

It was as if I could not wait another day!

So I texted Tony, who has cut and colored my hair

For 41 years, and he texted me back, ”Yes!

I can meet you at the salon on Sunday,” and

Then he continued with, “Will must be

Due for a haircut, so let’s.plan on that, too.”

So that’s what we did, yesterday, being as

I’m just not ready to be a gray haired

Lady, at least not yet.  Nor will

My hair style remain at its current length

Because shoulder length is what feels

Wholly natural to me, though

I must admit to the fact that, having been

Bald twice, during this past year and a half

Suggests why my patience with

My hair’s slo-mo growth remains fully intact

I mean, seriously, when the subject

Happens to be hair

I’m just glad to have it back!

And as we’re on our way to Mayo for

My blood draw and quarterly PET scan

That’s a wrap for today
