Hats, hair et al
You can't tell if they are sick or fashionable
They simply have no hair
Winter sees hats
Spring...their secret
Of being solemnly sick.
Homes are cardboard pop-ups
Of lazy layouts of a space-hungry age
But there's hair all over the page...
They are all losing hair
Either to chemo, or to Pantene or to Thyroid.
Scalps seen and simple
With the tile-trapped hair
Being sucked up by Maria @ 5 bucks an hour
Beats Time in its ploy to freeze the curls, the black thin threads
Into permanent dirt...
This is how history misses out on recording
The loss
The fad
The stamp
Of an infection, a fever and a death.
