Hair.
Hair.
it takes surprisingly little to change everything in your world
there is the idea of perspective
that you see things from your own skewed point of view
it builds inside you and your world adjusts to you and your whims
if my hair started to grow on my body twice as fast and twice as long
perhaps nobody else in the world would notice
maybe my suffering wife
but I'd notice
and it would bother me that something has changed
perhaps I'd be afraid of what it could mean
but then again its only hair and
perhaps
that is normal
now that I think of it,
I do recall
old people saying their hair grows rough in and on ears and in noses and at seemingly random
yet
if today
my hair grew twice as thick
or a different color
or stopped growing at all
nothing in this world that I can imagine
will have changed in any meaningful way
but I would have changed
I am both interconnected with and
independent from reality
saying the grass is always greener
is saying that your reality desires more
and so it deserves more
and if you go to that more and it isn't there
don't give up and think
I guess its all the same
instead keep looking
forever maybe
looking is fun too
and it keeps you from thinking
about why this hair will not stop growing
