In Which I'm Colouring My Hair, Again.

so much depends on
that red liquid-high
sliding into
droplets on your skin,
all the while
morphing who-you-are
into someone, maybe
new but
you hope it's old like jeans,
the kind you wear every day,
without washing,
and they fit like
they're part of you.

I kept thinking about Love That Dog yesterday. Apparently it came out in this, haha. <3

I love how you guys are still so fresh in your knowledge of poets and famous writers that you recognize the allusions immediately.
