The right haircut
the right profile
takes you there
takes you there in style

not enough maybe but
what’s on offer
here in these united states of TV
what’s sweet and sour

cain’t just walk out the door
in the a.m.
need an hour anna half
prep
fr yr entrance

so you can have the look
get you inna door
the right haircut

so

walk in
the unfolding
with you
behind/before
you
you

halos on every son
every daughter
glowing upon the multitude
across whole horizons
beyond into star spheres
a long long journey
to the back of your head
in
halo
still
awaiting your return
where
now
you finally know it
though

you knew it before too…

finally

rest now

take

a

breath


be
