My new tale/tail
Went to see Stuart at Hairspray Salon in Kaimuki (see: http://www.yelp.com/biz/hairspray-salon-honolulu) and told him, "I want the same haircut as Jen's." Jen is his wife and business partner.
"Fine." he says and starts cutting away, exactly the way he did Jen's hair. An original design.
But of course, Jen's hair is deliciously full and thick and has a great wave to it whereas, with age, my hair has become fly-away thin and sparse. It won't look at all like Jen's. What was I thinking?
"Just keep cutting." I tell Stuart. "Make it crazy."
He does and this is the result. The front is just normal short, but the back...! Insane! I LOVE it!
I had brought my Don't Trip Over the Garden Hose book with me to read them the poem that Stuart stars in. Here it is:
NO
IN-BETWEEN
Is tiredness allowed
in heaven?
Would there be room
for lying
faking things
breaking down
nose jobs
those rattle-brain
stupidities
that make each one of
us so interesting?
My hairdresser in
Kaimuki
hip archangel with
scissors
will leave me ravishing
or wrecked
I may exit the salon
transfigured
in a glorified body
or not
Is heaven like that
all or nothing?
