I felt like
a fraud
growing out my
long honey colored hair
and every day
lather shave lather shave lather shave
my armpits and legs.
once my hair reached
elbow-length
i resolved to
stop the silliness.
so now my wild hair
springs free all over
and I can be proud of my long locks
knowing what
proud forest exists
under my pants,
in the crook
of body and arm.
