This part in my hair is simply where
It is as it has been so long
Now never bereft of a part there left
Not right somehow right looks wrong
Way round reflected round the wrong way
I could part it the other way but
The roots still have a will so strong
That though surprised they could rise up and heft
It leftward to have their say
Rooted not in what will be but was
As they and so many are anyway
They might be right it may as well stay
Unheft (and of course uncut)
As it is and was to do as it does
Because it looks simply there
Left right way round where it is today
Though a triviality
Even so a part of me
