No Appointment Necessary

Women at the beauty parlor wear tin foil on their heads.
It makes them look like aliens from the TV shows of the 50’s
In a contest for space woman of the day
They wear fleece pajama pants too,
And their faces are pierced.
None care what they look like.
Few can keep a confidence either.
Nothing is sacred or secret.
Every confidence is shared, in a witty,
Upbeat, happy “you have to hear this” kind of way.
I sit there for hours sometimes, 
Not making an appointment or keeping one,
Slyly accessing their stories.

I could shave my head and I would have a lion's mane in 20 minutes. I do my hair in 2 minutes or less.

often, we don't care about the person who is seated beside us, but we have to know who is beside my seat!

It is amazing how fast we learn about people, even total strangers.

Hello Eve. I thought you might remember these days. But did we wear pajama pants? So popular to do this now. I am not "quite there" yet.
