a head

This morning I walked into a super-store to go to the bank and as I walked past the hair salon, glanced in -- (all those gleaming, colorful, alluring containers of hair Products! ... coaxing us to imagine plush, beautiful, stylish, edgy, "hot" hair, when we use them - !) --

and there was a head on the counter.

The head had strawberry blonde hair, combed, styled, twisted, separated, spiked -- expertly -- into what was surely an edgy, fashion-forward style. The head was connected to a neck which I couldn't see, and a body in an employee smock. Seated in a chair which was adjusted to just the right height, the young lady had leaned forward and just -- laid her head down to rest, for a few.

A rainy Saturday morning can be like that.
