It took a barber
to tell me that something
has changed in my life.

That I look happier,

healthier

He motioned with his palm
over
my body and the 4 inches surrounding
it,
with a squint longer than words.

I think some may call
it
an aura,
or a wall.

Something,
he said,
Something
is different.
And it is good.

It must be
the new sunglasses,
they’re a unique shade,
Flower colored.
