how could this go so very wrong
that I must depend on beards
would anyone cut me further down
how could this go so very far
that I need someone to say
what is wrong
not with the world but my beard
who could show my face without facialhair
who could see beyond this my beardness
and for once shave their own beards
hold the mirror for me just a little
under my chin
how could this grow so very strong
that I must depend on razors
would anyone shave me closer now
how could this grow so very far
that I need someone to say
what is wrong
not with gilette but me
who could shave his face without regretting
who could promise to never rake me
tonight my beard is full of lice
and everything I drink is full of hair
