she

was 16

and the doctor

had to shave part

of her head to fix her up. 

she

liked the look

and shaved off all the rest,

which her parents really didn’t like,

but,

she didn’t care

because she thought it was cool

and she

kept it that way

for many years except

when she grew part of it in

like a Mohawk, and then she met Lennie.

he

talked her

into growing it real long

and parted in the middle because:

it

made her

“look more feminine”.

she

hated that.

and eventually she hated Lennie, too. 

not

much later,

she got rid of Lennie

and the real long hair, and

moved to Pittsburgh where she

kinda sorta maybe lived happily ever after,

forever and ever, amen.
