2nd time around

be honest
(or maybe just humor me).
you've all attempted something kinda scary,
way-the-heck-out of your comfort zone
for the very first time,
and totally rocked it.

and then,
all jazzed about how amazing you are,
not to mention gifted,
you dive in for Round Two.

and blow it.

let's just say i'm ever-so-grateful
that the majority of you, dear readers,
are far enough away
you won't ever see this latest haircut.

those of you closer to the damage,
kindly avert your eyes.
pretend you don't see the long hairs,
the ridiculous cowlick,
the scraggly patches in back.

the section above his right ear?
that place where there is very, Very little hair?
well, that particular one is his fault.

so, so necessary

look at the hair in front of his ears.
we could tuck it behind them.

he WAS NOT this cute during the cut
not by a longshot :)
