where you’re chatting up some girl
ever so casually
in a pub
or a library
or wherever, really,
for a good half-hour or more
only subsequently to realise
you have one of your girlfriend’s hairs
– a foot long, reddish,
with noticeable purple highlights –
stuck somehow
to the front right shoulder of your sweater.
