Customer Review, Hair for Buddha

I hate you Kate!
You’re not so great.

Sure, you can cut.
BUT.

Have you heard of discrimination?
It’s banned in this stole nation.

When you told me: ‘Don’t come back’
Well … it left me feeling flat.

I cried and wept —
on floors, I slept.

Sound a bit extreme?
Well, hear what I mean:

It’s not just a cut —
it’s a thousand cuts!

From my whole life …
and from being a wife …

Gaslighting now, well that ain’t right
and you know, it gave me a shocking fright

to discover it was done to me
for a number of years — say, twenty-three?

And you side with my ex?
(Not even for sex!)

Well Kate, I guess you couldn’t know.
But Kate! How could you diss me so?

And next in line, I am autistic
I talk too much, you go ballistic!

Well now I know, but still you don’t
so here’s a poem, in lieu of a note.
