He shaved his hair. Claims no ownership To what’s gone While he proudly strokes What’s left curled up Above his lips. “No, I will not shave it Or share it with anyone. Definitely not With a bowl of soup.”

A Clear Sense of Ownership
He shaved his hair. Claims no ownership To what’s gone While he proudly strokes What’s left curled up Above his lips. “No, I will not shave it Or share it with anyone. Definitely not With a bowl of soup.”
When I saw a friend with a freshly shaved head and a curled-up moustache, the vivid poem came to me instantly.
