one long difficult brow hair   sticking out with a slight whirl toward the end bending its once linear course i pull at it whiff on the first three tries but get it on the fourth one smear of red marks the deed holding it between thumb and forefinger i observe its root pale translucent box-like tag bags layers of me the shaft of hair itself wears three layers its cuticle tells species the cortex tells the sort of hair and the medulla tells ethnicity but the follicular tag brags of my very own me that i cannot see ladder of unusual protein pirouettes and scene

there you are
one long difficult brow hair   sticking out with a slight whirl toward the end bending its once linear course i pull at it whiff on the first three tries but get it on the fourth one smear of red marks the deed holding it between thumb and forefinger i observe its root pale translucent box-like tag bags layers of me the shaft of hair itself wears three layers its cuticle tells species the cortex tells the sort of hair and the medulla tells ethnicity but the follicular tag brags of my very own me that i cannot see ladder of unusual protein pirouettes and scene
