Struggle

It is so annoying.

All over the place.

There is so much of it.

I can't stand it.

I like it.

But I hate it.

So many things one can do with it.

But on a hot day I just want to

destroy it.

I want it gone.

So I take a rubber band.

Lift my hands slowly.

So as not to startle it.

I strangle it in one fell swoop.

Tie it tight in a knot.

And put it up high.

It struggles but I won't let it go.

I sit back and relax.

I have won.

And my face is no longer

Surrounded by

All my hair.
