Daylight Robberyby Paul Henry

Silent as cut hair falling

and elevated by cushions

in the barber's rotating chair

this seven-year-old begins to see

a different boy in the mirror,

glances up, suspiciously,

like a painter checking for symmetry.

The scissors round a bend

behind a blushing ear.

And when the crime's done,

when the sun lies in its ashes,

a new child rises

out of the blond, unswept curls,

the suddenly serious chair

that last year was a roundabout.

All the way back to the car

a stranger picks himself out

in a glass-veiled identity parade.

Turning a corner

his hand slips from mine

like a final, forgotten strand

snipped from its lock.
