Hairdresser
Your hairdresser today is Emily -
‘It’s good to see you, wow, it’s been a while’
She says. She’s wearing lots of PPE
It has. I’m glad that I can see her smile
Behind her plastic visor. She looks well
Some people do - it’s not the same for me
But then there’s nobody to see, or tell
So that’s OK - ‘So what is it that we
Are doing with your hair today?’ I knew
The minute that she touched me I would cry
I hope I’m not the only person who
Has done that. ‘No’ she says, and asks if I
Would like a hug (‘But mind the PPE!’)
‘It’s been the same for me’ says Emily
