ANNIEBOO 2026...


 A very strange thing happened to me 
on the way to 2026.
My life long poker straight hair 
took it upon it's self,
to curl and wave all over my head.
I don't know if it is going to stay like this.
I'll keep you posted......
In the mean time this is what I look like.

 Silence of a winter night
 buried in velvet mounds 
of crystal dusted cream. 
 Lamp posts stand like sentinel
 ghosts up and down the street. 
and silence... snow silence...

 again."
