Watch it, windblown
It’s always such an
orchestrated mess.
Always smooth & shiny;
I think it would be soft to touch
but
who am I to say?
Every time I see
it
leaves me wondering
Does she drag herself out of bed
long before the light could reach
her window
to the beeping of an angry alarm clock
stating 5:00 a.m. next to the date to
make it strait
or
is it just that way
naturally?

Have you ever watched the back of somebody's head instead of the teacher during a class, and found yourself wondering how the heck their hair can simultaneously look like they don't care about it and look perfect?
