Bald




Been thinking
and dreaming about
shaving my head
oh been about 2 years now and
then again
I might not.

I’ve thought about it a lot
and in my dreams
I already have

whiter than my face
and not nearly as wrinkled
but lumpy and cracked
like an egg with a tough shell.

Shaving my head , looking in the mirror
sneezing from the hair still drifting down
wondering if the eyebrows should go as well

been thinking about that
no eyebrows to raise
tonight maybe asleep
maybe I will.

Maybe I won’t know myself
yeah, maybe I wouldn’t give myself
the time of day.
