That Hair!

It speaks a sea tongue
of waves
duck-feather tufts
curlicues.

Infinite good hair days
fairy floss! corkscrew curls
mad science looks
Beatle burns — and that speckled chin — Vavoom!

This halo has Attitude
pizazz, élan.
Fluffy clean, sweat-drenched
greased to itching…

it’s real hair, not staged —
except the eyebrows:
bushy socialists

mown down

in their prime.
