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
