Raggedy pandemic hair
so I just walked in to JJS a few blocks away
and Carol from Korea cut my hair
and said that as a teenager she moved
from Seoul to Chicago where we studied
to be an accountant. One day she came to New York
to visit a girlfriend from Korea and her friend
took Carol to see a Korean psychic who said
to become a hairdresser
and Carol did and she cut Betty Friedan’s
hair for 30 years read all her books met an Egyptian
from Cairo named Omar at a belly dancing club
in the East 40’s married him 34 years ago
A Good Guy said Carol
she cooks his mother’s recipes
Omar makes her mother’s
food kimchi and ful
We’re still happy said Carol.
Maybe it’s the belly dancing she said.
Love it! Great story...
