Premium Member Year of the Wig
(This is a true story from 2001, when I let my
hair grow back to dark, and I fooled a few people
who thought the wig was still my own hair but with 
a different shade of blonde!)

Growing roots meant bad hair each day;
bought a wig to...

Where's My Wig
Two girls whisper something
I know they are talking about my hair

One of them has long straight sleek hair that reaches her mid back
The other has short hair that's smooth and silky 

Of course I can tell that the long hair isn't real, neither is the...

Wig of Stars
The moon 
put on her wig 
of stars
that trailed across
the universe.

If I get
stuck 
out on the sun
please don't
try to comb
me out.

I am the farmer
that

in your 
field of vision....

Premium Member Wig, Out
he’d bought a skull rug for that spot
high on his head where hair was not

but …

it brought him rash and scalp decay -
one horrid nightmare’s “hell toupee”

The Wig Maker
When a wig maker saw my wife's hair, he adored it.

They could not wait to see what grandma’s newest wig would be.
Prepared for almost anything, she was whimsical and full of glee.
They began to laugh and point. The youngest one said “whoopee!”

My whimsical grandma for...

Premium Member I've started wearing a wig in the car
It's thrilling
But so is this poem

I want to take up a most profound authority
Throughout the neighbourhood

A village pastor
And various pursuits of a similar kind

Give me my own planet
My own earf

Postmodernist scumbag
And cowboys from hell days

I want to hear the new Beyonce album
Between the buried and...

Are feathered, yet lacking in hair.
They'd look erudite,
With wigs powdered white,
But wouldn't get up in the air....
