Confessional







Saturday afternoon walking along the waterfront
thinking about a haircut and how I might

call into Claudio’s and that set me wondering
about why I waste time thinking

about having my hair cut, why don’t I just do it? I don’t
even like my hair. My first boyfriend used to

jokingly compliment me on its mouse-brown-
ness
as we lay kissing and listening to music
