Cutting Hairs

There is nothing like a good haircut

which may appear shallow from 
            a certain point of view
            but personally I prefer nicely shaped hairs

Yes. It might seem
            narcissistic
            superficial
            frivolous
            and just plain silly

Really, though, is hair unimportant?      
            In the cosmic scheme of things 
            that's quite possible
            actually probable
            certainly true

But we're not talking about importance here
            This is about . . .
            let's face it . . . self-image . . .    
            everyone needs a good one, I'm told

You're quite right
            Outward appearance
            may be immaterial
            not worth our concern

But darn it,
            I want to look in the mirror
            and at least be satisfied with my tresses
