an enormous beard he refuses to shave
is chaos, unstoppable, a christmas mane, it's out of control
covering his entire body
(apart from his eyes, lips, the soles of his feet)
it blows backwards & forwards
waving his snoring.
look at him bored, humming contently,
licking crumbs, morsels from his white venetions
-wait.. he concentrates, beard pluming from his ears,
he licks his sour puckered ring,
he ignores me.
recalcitrant cat.
