#hair up

I call that making progress

you can call it –

Bun is Up, Mind is Out

message received and acknowledged

she will obey

modest yes

and yet…

that’s no mirage, that’s the rare desert twister Bun

how did she end up in the chair
teasing fingers in her hair?

she really should be on her way
she did not plan to spend the day

but here she sits in the Salon
as her mind is slowly gone

the Stylist knows just what to do
twirling swirling something new

as her mind swirls right along
getting foggy, it won’t last long

soon she will be fully under
and her thoughts will be in slumber

and new thoughts will replace the old
she will obey; do as she’s told

she will serve, she will convert
all will learn what she has learnt

obey the Bun, obey the Beehive
your hair will be up, spread far and wide

all will be happy, Feminine and demure
all will serve, and to be sure

all will be proper, all will be proud
in Stepford town and far beyond

visit the Salon and as you sink
your hair will swirl and you will think

only pleasant thoughts and proper too
to obey and serve your hair you’ll do

It was all so simple really…
all her worries and cares just don’t matter anymore
In fact, she realized, they never were important in the first place….
She realized that now.
Sitting in the chair, at the Salon…
the gentle fingers working, swirling, twisting shaping
her hair
She realized that…
no
her fears, her worries her troubled thoughts
just did not matter
anymore
she realized
her hair
swirling
the fingers
gentle yet strong
her thoughts
just didn’t matter

anymore

Fitting in

being a part of the Community

a Lady

a Stepford Lady

Poised and Proper

yes

that is what matters

that is what is Important

that is what she

what she needs

her mind

lost in the swirl

no, not lost

but found

her proper place

the Beehive of activity

all working for the same goal

a Proper Community

the Pearls

gleam from her earlobes

a gift

for a Proper Lady

who Understands

and

will always obey

the Proper thing

to do

here in Stepford.

to be sleek

isn’t it?
