going on 71

 Almost 31 days into my 71st year...

feeling a bit wild and free.

Free to sit and do nothing

or anything else that I choose.

It's a great time of life

(if a bit daunting).

I've given up haircuts for awhile,

wondering how long it will grow

before I give in.

This experiment is symbolic

of something else, I believe.

I just haven't figured out what yet.

At any rate, I've saved the money 

of haircuts.

Maybe that's enough.
