An Old Bald Barber

Hair falling off his scissors
Stopping the lengthening 
But not the aging
Blackening hair with his dye
Stopping the whitening 
But not the hair dropping
As the system of nature is
Irreversible

Heh, heh. Can't remember the last time I saw hair jump up from the apron back onto someone's head... ~ Gershon
