Shaving

Most men shave every day. It is Our ritual of hygiene and vanity. A clean, freshly shaven face will get results, restore our sanity. The act of shaving makes us think, about our imperfections, the mirror is unfair but also indispensable, our nervous hands grow steady there. Lately I have begun to see another side of me. As I spread the creamy foam, and slowly pull the razor through, I wonder what she might think of me. This feeling gets me through the day I touch my face tenderly, just to see how it might feel to be touched, how it might feel to be touched by her someday.
