A Virus-Free Haircut in Honor of the Governor of Texas
And in memory of Harry and Shorty Driskill,
Our little town’s barbers in the long-ago
A haircut today – my wolfman look is shorn
The virus-time follicles set to rights
Follies and follicles, the locks of lockdown
A-tumbling down in coarse, unseemly waves
The haircut lady continues a narrative
Begun two months before, a local scandal
Unmasked (as are we) to the buzz of the shears
“And I’d tell the governor where he can go…!”
My hair…
In isolation so long embedded -
But suddenly, now, I feel light-headed!
(A shortcoming of lady barbers is that their shops do not feature pictures of poker-playing dogs.)
