maintenance

there was a place

where she got her hair shampooed,

a place

where she got it colored,

then to the French

place

where a man in a silk shirt

straightened

and cut it.

it was a long day

every two weeks, and then

it was time

for her nails,

the pedi and mani,

the facial and massage,

and at last the esthetician,

before hitting

the tanning parlor for

a spray job.

who knew?

i had no clue.
