The proper use of a hair brush April 24, 2012

 


Hair brushes should come

 with a warning label on how

they ought to get used,

which end inserted where

 and why, and the dangers

 likely if the wrong end goes in

 when the other end should have.

 This desperate need for pleasure

always tinged with the possibility of pain,

and the satisfaction both of these brings

when done correctly,

though I'm sure those who invented

 the hair brush did not contemplate

where either end would end up

or the motivation to insert it

into the dark spaces meant for something else.

 These, of course, being the thoughts

 that run through my head

when she informs me about her use of the brush,

 and making me wonder why she needed to tell me.

 It is possible to be jealous of a hair brush?
