Do you mind if I…
The attractive young woman began
Moving to my side
Touching the nape of neck
Checking me over
Closely
Touching my ear
Rearranging a little silver-white curl on my crown
…if I photograph your hair?
I think it’s beautiful
.
After taking a few photographs
From different angles
She turned to her phone, smiled
And said
“That will be ten pounds, please”
That’s a fair price for a haircut
I paid, happy as a show lamb
(And we all knows what happens to boy lambs don’t we’s?
There’re the first to leave the farm)
