The strands tangle and twist As if my finger, Is the center of a tiny universe Of interlocking twining twirling black With a simple twist and snap Are ripped, Star crossed lovers Every Romeo to his Juliet Are rip, rip, ri-torn apart The hair from the hair tie Yet, Like tentacles clinging on A stubborn slug, repulsive Yet in an obscure manner Admiringly persistent It continues to hold on Like a lizard regrows it’s tail Impossible, To truly chop off So too does the hair insist Upon an adamant refusal to separate As if hair and tie are one Interlocked In a ferocious battle... Or, Perhaps, a passionate embrace? Are they one? Whether it be so or not I decide not to bother Why, should I take up the mantle Of the evil stepmother, wicked witch, cruel king... You name it To separate the two, lovers or competitors They maybe Why insist, Upon what will never Come true, At least, In the case of any proper Disney fairy tale Is what I tell myself, throwing down the hair tie In favor of writing poetry about it

The hair, the tie, and Me
The strands tangle and twist As if my finger, Is the center of a tiny universe Of interlocking twining twirling black With a simple twist and snap Are ripped, Star crossed lovers Every Romeo to his Juliet Are rip, rip, ri-torn apart The hair from the hair tie Yet, Like tentacles clinging on A stubborn slug, repulsive Yet in an obscure manner Admiringly persistent It continues to hold on Like a lizard regrows it’s tail Impossible, To truly chop off So too does the hair insist Upon an adamant refusal to separate As if hair and tie are one Interlocked In a ferocious battle... Or, Perhaps, a passionate embrace? Are they one? Whether it be so or not I decide not to bother Why, should I take up the mantle Of the evil stepmother, wicked witch, cruel king... You name it To separate the two, lovers or competitors They maybe Why insist, Upon what will never Come true, At least, In the case of any proper Disney fairy tale Is what I tell myself, throwing down the hair tie In favor of writing poetry about it
