Webbed Design
Today,
I must do something with this afro.
loose strands blow
in the wind.
I need a new style,
something different than before.
A buzz cut?
NO!
Had that all my life.
Style with gel?
NO!
Corn rolls?
NO!
I think I want braids...
Thirty dollars later,
three hours of pulling, twisting,
back spasms crippling
me.
my equilibrium shot
I walk with a sway.
But,
my hair looks good today.
Cob web design,
no straight lines,
Side-burns cut to fade,
matching my spider web braids..
