Sitting in a parlour,
Vanity at its peak!
While you can change your appearance in a jiffy -
If only, you could have perfected your character in the same time!
Long hair, short hair, no hair -
Whatever your choice -
Decide!
And have a cash memo ready at your disposal.
Get your hair color changed like a chameleon’s - to match with the surroundings or not at all!
Your choice paramount!
Posters of polished plastic beauties entrapping me,
As I am confronted with the pertinent question -
Will tweaking my appearance again,
Conform to my and society’s overhyped standards?
While a few women are doing just that in front of me -
Curling/straightening the hair, getting their makeup done -
Getting ‘repainted’, ‘repolished’, ‘refined’?
Unsettled -
I am lost in this monologue...
As the stylist signals 'It's your turn, madam’
Shifting in my chair,
I realise, it's time -
to get ‘repainted’, ‘repolished’, ‘refined’?
