Not As We by Alanis Morissette

cheese

i was
sitting there

surrounded

by my own hair,
held up

by the smell of

chocolate labs and lace  and

i kept on plucking
my yellow

gold split ends and

flicking them away
and

they would land
like snow on

top of my

long black sleeves
where

they lay like
little flecks
of golden dust

it's just dead
old skin

cells

but still
the follicular mess

i've surrounded myself in,

at least,
makes me feel

like
i've done something.
