I was young and I was bald
And I felt I was hairless
I seemed ribald
All I wanted was hair care
A simple wig to wear
With hair for me
Then I opened up my eyes
Found a book with all about
Craniotomy

I started to learn
How to
Open up my skull
To implant
There some hair
I stole
From my mother’s pubis
She is a troll living in the north
With a lot of hair

I was so edgy
Couldn’t keep my hands steady
I have failed
If my hair was before gone
Now I look like a life-size
Porcupine
Now if I’m not the woman bald
I’m known as the Troll Kate
Porcupine

Torn between the

Bald and the hair in me
Two hair moods

In one body
The bald and the hair in me
I know I need the hair in me
Dreadful

Torn between the bald and the hair in me
Two hair moods in one body
The bald and the hair in me
I know I need the hair
Still I know this hair is dreadful
Dreadful
