Mammal/Wild Woman
Watch the weirdness of it
this wiry growth
from each leg and each pit.
An ancient ancestor
back for a visit.
The mammalian inside
wants to go wild.
Throw away the razor
the wax and the laser
become a wild woman
scare your next door neighbour.
You're growing your hair
and you don't care.
Be astonished by its pace
this evolutionary race
draping over the tops of socks
sprouting from under pants.
Lifting arms might not be wise
there's a hairy surprise
for those who oppose.
Maybe the Sasquatch is a wild woman.
A hairy outsider driven out
by social disapproval
of her utter disdain
for constant hair removal?
Alas, there comes a time you must admit
unless you fully commit
too much hair is hard to bear.
The suppression of the wild woman within
is worth the sensation of silky skin.
This notion I have entertained
primeval hair simply must be tamed.
