Haircare
Haircare
Those billboards that flare up
Suddenly around O’Hare
Like mushrooms you'd swear
Weren’t there the night before
When you see them in the morning
Advertising products that promise
To reverse hair loss
With before and after pictures
Of Brian Urlacher and a pun
On tackling premature balding
Followed by the exclamation
“Oh, hair!”
Make middle-aged men driving
Into the city from the suburbs run
Their hands through what hair
Marriage and kids and job
Have yet to make fall out
Thus capitalism probes wounds
We might otherwise not have felt
So that those who have everything
They need believe they're losing
