Gentle Gentle
63Gentle, gentle the colors fall. Cool on my freshly clippered head, the air crisp awaiting a winter. Down the main drag a peloton, club colors, tights. I have tights. Not gonna say shoulda rode. No shoulda’s here. They look good, though. Thirty-eight degrees and sunny. I may have to suck it up. Tights. Hmm. Bears thought.
Do bears think? I think they do, imbued with that thing that so effectively eludes definition: life. And who cares what they do in the woods, anyway?
Back in the chair, she’s a nice person, accent from England, about fifty-five, sixty. She could lose those highlights, though. It’s a nuthouse, questionable co-workers, clients on the benches not logged in, a mess. I calm her down with my unsinkable good spirits. We have a good haircut. She’s calmer when I go. I try not to break my arm patting my back on out the door. Never had a broken bone.
Far away, you are: loved. All is well, or all will be well. If there is still a question, I promise. I can promise, because I am absolutely sure.
Here, I am, glad. You own it. You do. Yes, you. Because you taught me with patience and that other thing we agree not to talk about. Works for me. I can bear it. Because I know, that’s right, you know it, too, everything is going to turn out just fine. Yes, it is.
Down and out but not me or you. Sun going down now and the temperature with it. We’re going out, so are you. You guys have fun, y'hear? Nothing but, forever and ever, fun, fun, fun, as much as you can bear.
Love,
Jess

Hi Jess - 'bears thought. Do bears think. Made me laugh, you good man with words... Gus
I kinds like 'bare thoughts' myself. :)
Yes, they do think when alone :), and I just got a damn nice haircut, so what's the odds!!!
Hi Invictus! A Photoshop haircut is very quick and leaves no clippings. I had avoided the "bare" spelling, but now, thanks to you, here it is :)
Laughter and smiles - can't beat that! Thank you, Words!
Cliches are rich in humorous resources, right, Gus? Thank you! :)
Shamel, my friend, nothing is coincidence! :)

Good for us, Storyteller, gentle humor. :)
You move so fluidly from one thought to the next - as always Jess - thanks for an incredible read!
I am truly enjoying it, too, Shalini. Thank you! :)

Ah, so you were not kidding about needing a hair haircut. This is lovely and feels quite intimate, too.
ps. What is it like for cartoons getting their haircut..is it like cutting play dough? :)
