in

my hair is longer
my beard has grown something
i can’t identify—

i consume the maddening
fodder like candy—

i play with the idea
of shaving my beard off/ lobbing my hair off 

i find pleasure 
in the act of starting over.

    It’s a light and refreshing feeling. Just the step towards it can be a difficult one. :-)

    The cleansing feel of the poem is exceptionally compelling! I love the crisp nature of the lines too.
