my dichotomy

old dog brush


the hillbilly and the scot
conspire inside of me

endeavor to remind me
be happy with what I have
no need to be uppity

some sin this morning
was called to account

and I held the evidence
in my hands - yet another old broken
hair brush (this from my handbag)

now I am left with just the one
the one in my bathroom drawer
the one I use every day before I bathe

the one that hurts like hell
sends metal spikes into my scalp
tearing the knots of my growing
