the barber's scissors:
                my breath lost as the last of 
his baby curls fell...

Ah dearest animal
               Being a dog I desire
               Can't see to change tire

DEPLANING OF 1964

enigmatic,
four souls
rocking voices,
idol haircuts, a drum,
guitars and a smile…

fainting, waving,
heads bobbing,

despairing boyfriends
and parents

seems like,
yesterday

I wanna hold your hand-
edness

got out of hand,
helter-skelter in view

I spied eighteen ‘yeti’s in line
One even looked like Frankenstein
Since lockdown’s been lifted
For haircuts they’d drifted
The barber’s skills made them look fine

Alas, due to the insidious coronavirus situation,
The guv ordered barber shops closed for the duration!

Now, I suppose that is of no concern to a bald-headed bloke,

What am I to do sans my barber deftly wielding his shears,
Taking some off the top and trimming about my ears?

If the virus prevails many more months, I'm afraid,
That I must stifle my scruffy mane with a luxuriant braid!...
