i tell you what.
i have long hair, long like
dirty hippies and jew-fros
though i am neither,
my beard unkempt and wild
like the twisting nonsense
of books & psychedelic trance,
of Lords and Ladies of treason
and the other side of the shopping malls.
sometimes i want to chop it all off
along with my eyebrows and sideburns,
and the hair on my balls,
& be hairless in the sun, smoking weed
and fine tobacco, digging holes in the ground,
but i wonder if, like Samson
i would lose myself
as my curls scatter
in the wind.

There was this episode of Jackass once where Steve-O shaved all the hair off his body. It was so sick and stoops. But it was cool. Just like this poem. For some reason, I got Steve-O on the hills of the sound of music. Hairless.

In any sense, I feel that you have not lost your capabilities in the last three months after reading this poem. In all mannerisms, I took from this poem the wild and unkempt nature so...eloquently expressed on your home page. Yet even so, past the prejudice and distinct word choice, I find myself agreeing with you...however slightly
Intriguing to say the least
Bravo
