I wear a headband of curls,
embraced by water's fingers
stiffly-dash-smoothly,
holding onto my scissors
as my hair starts to feel my eyes
and not the metal,
bending space upward
for a bald forehead,
exposed, away from professional
shampoo spirals instead of personal,
brushed clear to the scalp
in research showing a dirt
in soap without foamy seeds~
and, how ironic, side effects
aren't as lovely
for photographic hairdos
bouncing back and forth
between twin smiles
