new hair day

painless
and prompt, the ad
says.
these are not your
grandfather's hair
plugs. no way.
these are state
of the art hair
replacements done
by men and women wearing
white smocks.
you'll have a full
head of hair in
one hour or your
money back.
but where are you
going to get all
this hair you
ask, sitting at
your consultation.
whose hair is going
onto my head?
who cares, the doctor
says. you'll
be washing, combing
and styling
your way back to
a youthful appearance
in no time.
then you hear the barking
in the back
and see the shaved
daschunds jumping
about.
