Week 20: Tuesday, Loose Hair and A Burnt Vine

Hair is a funny thing. We recognize the beauty of hair on otherpeople. We compliment women and men alike for their long,flowing, wavy locks of curly, blonde, brunette, or black hair, but allbets are off when the hair becomes disconnected. We garner a verydifferent attitude toward hair that has fallen out. Hair covering theshower drain is disgusting, even if it is our own hair. We don’t wantto touch it. A big clump of hair clogging the pipes will trigger ourgag reflex. “Waiter! There’s a hair in my food!” Thick, beautiful,cascading hair is not so beautiful once it becomes disconnectedfrom the scalp. In fact, it becomes repulsive.
