hair today, gone tomorrow

hair
is so overrated
i've an
abundance
and shortage.
i've been Elvis
and Paul
McCartney at times.
Winston
Churchill too.
it's been brown and blonde,
a reddish hue.
i've waxed it back
in the punk era,
and shaved it
down to nearly nothing.
resembling
a moon.
it grows
in my ears now,
my nose.
baby like
hairs sprout from
the top
of my scalp,
is it coming back
for a final run?
my arms are thick
with it.
silver and gold.
it's dry brush
from the neck down.
i try to stay
away from
grills and matches.
hair is never quite done.
