plays.

while the book says
about one’s hair in winter,
while in muggy mild weather
the hair falls out.

shocking.

we must realise that
while the wind is in the

hair will be crisp,
grow thick , curl easily.

mine didn’t.

the book says it is
an article of faith
among servants
not to wash hair all
winter.

it is an art.

we are on page 56.
