Hair



the hair the hair always the hair
rumpled and coifed 
a binary dichotomy 
perfect and imperfect coincide 
exist in sync 
resist slapping each other while
some shafts lean in and others the contrarians lean out unsettled and mislaid
more do then don’t put forth a determined passion 
those that don’t attempt a 
certain dignity 
unruly confusion
disarranged continuity
shuffled dislocation
a.comb.for.god sake.a.comb.

jolly discourse

back to the beginning the very start a lone table playlist blaring tune it out instead hear the silence the conundrum of words pounding the page before the time of friends of jolly discourse poured over cups of dark roast and chocolate croissants split into bits for sharing before the time of fine cars pulled up close the grinding of motors and retired race car drivers reminiscing about top shelf liquor before the time of colored hair extensions and costume jewelry seeking the approval of old Persian men who fall and fall away crushed under squealing tires and nasty little dogs lost only to be buried in a simple  shroud below a bloated dead race car driver now back to the lone table the incessant quiet of blaring music and words colliding creating a racket in a long closed notebook ©Karen Casady 2019

No.Thing.Nothing.

No.thing. Nothing. Done Fallen away One more time Of numerous times Been there Far too often A crack A crash Gone Over the cliff To nothing A blank A void to fill with stuff What stuff There is no stuff A void to fill with some.thing. Any.thing. No.thing. Not even nothing Back to the start The onset Creation Flail at the nothing A bug in empty space On its back legs akimbo Sticky but not sticking Treading but no tread Be still just be quiet  Soon the no.thing disappears Dissolves to nothing ©Karen Casady 2019
