Silver Threads

Every day, my hair

gets a little more gray, and

I’m okay with that.

Faux Hawk

Short docked hair looks good
until you sleep like a rock.
Now, where’s my hoodie?

Dead Of Winter

Skin like parchment, hair
like tinder; ’til March (at least)
I need anointment.

A noiseless, impatient spider

Brushed my hair, when I
soon came to see, you were cached
in there all along.

We both hit the roof!
(Proof that I care?) You’re free, when
I could have flushed you.

Hair ’em, Scare ’em

It’s official, by
The solo hair on my chin—
I’m that old lady.
