Twice Wild
A poem about short, back and sides
Jul 17, 2024
My friend wrote a midnight rant about blokes getting short back and sides haircuts and how they’re a disservice to what it is to be a man.
I thought about my response to this for a full day as I currently have short back and sides.
I once had flowing locks.
Actually twice.
So I wrote this poem in response.
Twice wild,
my hair uncut
for almost an Olympics each time.
For a clean energy future,
I now wear
a solar panel,
where once was hair.
The beard
my last bastion of wild hope.
holding poems
and sometimes chocolate.
In the end…
They’re all just pubes
above the neck.
