I Had a Big Plan
I had a big plan about how I wanted my hair cut.
I told her how I wanted the front, the back, the sides.
I was quite specific.
Wet, I could not see what she was doing.
She is the hairdresser, so I paid her.
I was polite.
I gave her a tip.
Silly considering, I have the exact haircut I did not want.
The “boy” haircut, the one I hate the most.
The one all women seem to get when they are over sixty.
The one that says
I have no pride anymore.
I do not care if I look boy-like.
That one.
I gave her a tip?
What is wrong with me?
