Twice Wild

A poem about short, back and sides

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.
