Finale For a Wash & Set

Unrolling slender strands of hair
from brightly colored curlers –

Thank you, dear.
You’re so kind.

Brushing gently all the locks
into a wispy halo of strawberry blonde –

Thank you. It feels so good.
Did you get it yet and the tip?

Coffee placed nearby
for sips of sweetened decaf –

Good. My niece said she sent it.
She’s so good to me.

Smoothing clean silky tresses tenderly
over delicate translucent ears –

I hope you stay. Please do.
I’d miss you so.

A spritz of spray to hold
things in their proper place –

It’s lovely, thank you, dear.
I feel so pretty now.
