head shot


pick a reason, any reason
cancer? a worthy cause? a bet? drunk?
what does it matter
its all gone.

strange that people dont recognise me
or if they do , its a classic double take.
and it got me thinking
we are all caricatures of ourselves.

what is pete
without the crazy hair?
who is pete
is he still there?

of course I am
nothing has really changed
but there's been a resurgence
of questions.

all about appearance.
and in the end
people just get used to it.
although they remain challenged.

and all of a sudden
i feel a certain kinship
with those poor sods who are
bald by nature not design.

now what else can I radically change?
