FALLING HAIR

AS I SIT AND THINK

I NOW WANT TO GET VIOLATED

A PERFECT CHANGE IN MY LIFE

MY COMFORT ZONE HAS CHANGED

AS SHE COVERS MY NAKED SKIN

AND PREPARES TO CUT

SHE IS SMOOTH

AS EACH BLADE OF HAIR FLOATS AND FALLS

THEY FALL TO THE FLOOR

WITH ANOTHER RIGHT BEHIND ANOTHER

UNTIL THERE BECOMES A STORM OF HAIR

AS THE HAIR CONTINUALY FALLS IN GROUPS

AS SHE STROKES EACH TIME ACROSS MY HEAD

ALL THOSE NERVES, BECOME MASSAGED

AND MY BRAIN BECOMES ENLIGHTEND

SO STILL HAIR IS FALLING

EACH WITH NO MEMORY

BUT ONLY A DESTINATION

AS THEY FALL TO PILES

TO TRY TO BE TOGETHER AGAIN

THE BROOM COMES QUICKLY

AS THEY ARE SWEPT AWAY FOREVER

I AM STILL SITTING

LOOKING INTO THE MIRROR

I SEE A NEW MAN

I SEE A NEW LIFE

THAT’S WHAT YOU GET
