i love

my hair

after years of
wanting it to look like
farrah's
dorthy's (hamilton)
madonna's
wonder woman's
cindy's (brady and lauper)

after years of
bleaching it
coloring it
perming it
body waving it
crimping it
hating it

i can now say
i love my hair

straight as a pane of
glass
softer than wind
black as the deepest
sleep in
the silkiest night

what's not to love?
