tidying



there is a chasm
between the way
you are prepared
to live and the way
you are prepared
to let others think
you are prepared
to live which is
bridged by that
special rapid tidy
you perform in those
last few hours
before your guests
are expected - telling
a social lie - like
all the other
pretending
that you're fine

friends don't let friends get "friends" haircuts



it's not selling out
to be more mainstream
than you ever thought you'd end up
when you were seventeen
but if you're not racked with self doubt
when a previously cool head
of hair gets the conformist chop
a part of you is dead
