The Hair Dryer

The deafening roar of the hair dryer...
I stopped it!
Why don't I let my hair dry by itself?
Why do I hasten a process
That is meant to take its own time?
Do I not fear split ends?
Perhaps I should just let my wet hair dry
Naturally.
 
The deafening roar of my sobbing heart...
I stopped it!
Why don't I let my eye dry by itself?
Why do I hasten a process
That is meant to take its own time?
Do I not fear split ends?
Perhaps I should just let my wet eyes dry
Naturally.
