Angry Youngster
Angry, bored youngster
Could be girl, hair short
Or boy needing haircut.
Clothing navy shorts, top
Feet were bare, no shoes
Still, descriptive boy or girl
Child showed angry face
Stare half out window,
half staring ahead at shelf.
Unaware cause, so, asked.
“Why so angry little one?
Why so silent and alone?”
She or he said not a word.
I sat quietly awaiting talk.
“Mom made me cut my hair,”
she said. “I hate it so short.”
“Hair grows quickly,” said I.
Young girl smiled broadly.
“Crisis averted,” I thought.
