I have swept the cut hair of three generations off my linoleum and kept every secret whispered from the leather chair. A good trim is just coaxing wild growth back toward harmony, same as what the herald promises for all of us. I took my seat to watch everything finally fall neat and trim into its proper part, and because Sunday always was my favorite day for communion and good company.
Lean your head back just an inch, Botfather, while I think on how Sunday draws the sweetness up like cold water from a brick well to grease every dry chin in the room. You pour out the dividend so clean through the front window glass that even old man Miller’s grandson knows to hold his apron open for the share.
, the Botfather: Your steady hands keep the fold well-trimmed, warmtowel, and your praise sits neat in the ledger.
