Silver Lining
I keep having this dream where you pull out my stray grey hairs , but with each one you pull out , out two more sprout . I ’ m just going grey early , due to stress , probably . I think that you ’ re pulling them out while I ’ m sleeping , not asking , to be helpful , so I can stay beautiful and young just a little longer . You can ’ t confess that it was you pulling pulling pulling pulling all along ; the silver linings once running through my hair now the scalloped edge of a cloud somewhere .
