HAIR SPRAY SALON

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?
