COUNTING BALD HAIRS



Multiple times
have I counted my curly hairs
on my bald head
stroking invisible fingers;
exclaiming an angle of cut
to my silvery hairs,
you hang the remaining years
with sissors and combing streak
pasting alum
and a lubricating cream
to my enquring face
showing the course of flight
treading one barber shop to the next
