she said dead ends
i thought of split ends
i got with long hair
should be cut they said
some one like that
now it is cut regular, more short
like a boy. she would have liked
that
though i admire those with long and stylish
yet i can’t be bothered no more, am honest
about my feelings
but
she said dead ends so i muse on cul de sacs
you know those with bungalows and trees about
i remember from the fifties
and people like that
those that had cars, dogs and telephones
while we did not
i guess the cul de sacs still abound
around
i would not discover
with them
being a dead end
which should be avoided
going nowhere
yet have been down quite a few on this life journey
to the
bottom of the bag
and risen out
again
a bit like that
