poetry and hairdressers - 8.21.25
I was not feeling well today and at breakfast with friends began to feel like I was fainting for the first time in my life. So we left quickly, went home and I took a nap. When I woke I wanted to cancel my haircut but discovered that my app only allows me to make appointments, and I really didn’t like the idea of disappearing and/or dying without looking appropriate. So I went to congratulate him on his new snazzy shop. And brought a poetry book for him and one for associate. For Amit who gives me all my information about tv channels and jokes I brought “Hanging Around the House” (in English) who said “sign it with your phone number” and remarked on a few poems immediately, and for Amir I brought “Ways to Love” in Hebrew. He looked at the cover, the publisher, the size and put it away.
Unfortunately I don’t like the way Amit cuts my hair, and feel honored that Amir deigns to sculpt my heaven-worthy look, so I whisper “I love it” to Amir as I leave, and miss the parting from Amit.
I wish I could prefer Amit.
