In celebration of my 45th birthday, here is a poem which I had some fun writing. It is titled “Wild Hair”:
Where did it come from —
this wild and unexpected will
to suddenly stand up all by
YOURSELF
and no longer
simply be content
to lie down and be prostrate
just like all the rest?
I guess that’s what
a little gray will do.
And maybe there are others too
who will go their own way also
now that they’ve seen your courage.
