    1. Thank you, Hobbo. I agree. This moment, this first haircut and first time being allowed to get it cut, indelible memories. Glad I capture it a bit with this verse.

  5. Gosh this reminds me of cutting my own hair for three months of the pandemic, and the elation I felt when I finally got it cut by someone.

    1. Yes, we were raggedy. It was longer in Germany, where I was at the time.
