autumn perms
their crescent shapes curve
around and over
strung cable connected
pole to pole down our street.
given autumn perms
the hairy tops ripple.
curlers fly out.
black bobby pins drop flat.
limber paper dolls
collect, frolic and cartwheel
down our street
as their stern mothers
root in city salon chairs.

we wait
for Mother Nature to close
this blustery beauty shop
before the white of Winter
releases its hoard —
a frolicking bunch and
not a single twin.

10.1.22 edit to add lines and slight structure change.

The crescent shapes are the trees cut back by village to unobstruct utility lines. They appear as crescent shapes down the block as their new colors grow.
