the sloppy soap
the endless rinse
of dirt and scum
that annoying spray
shaken from a dog’s misery
500 scissored snips
to hear “nice job”
300 for no comment
at all
and hair hair everywhere
between cushions
on my shorts
in my shorts
under my shorts
I trace a trail of white follicles.
off the sofa down the hall
to the bedroom and
under the bed
at one point on this path
do I really read this
spelled with cut hair
“leeve mee aloone”?
or something not quite
in that order
or in those particularly
misspelled words?
