The Woolen Cap of Summer

The Woolen Cap of Summer

My hair, though pretty

is a built-in woolen cap

on hot summer days

As I sit here in my apartment, I am sweltering, even though my apartment remains very cool in the summer. It is because I have my own built-in knit cap—my hair. Some days I fantasize about shearing it all off, much like Britney during her super cray-cray time. I could cut hours out of my weekly routine. I could toss my many products, and give up all the burns on my fingers from the flat iron. It would feel so amazingly... breezy. But you know I won't cut it off. It's part of what makes me me. It makes women scowl and men stare, it makes hair stylists go a little nutty and give me "Hollywood hair" by the end of each appointment. So I'll just continue to sit here and swelter. But I will look soooo good while doing it.
