Hairy Tales

There it comes
Flying through the air
Striking my face
Like a whiplash.
"Aaaah!" I scream
As the nerves on my face
Reach my brain.
I stare at her
But she, 
Oblivious of her actions,
Walks away.
In anger, I call out "Hey" 
She hears and turns around
With a quizzical look in her eyes
Asks "What happened?"
"Happened? Really?
A lot happened
Without your knowledge.
That hair of yours
Is running loose.
Tie it now! Tie it right now!"

No rains for three years
Every molecule of water
Has risen heavenwards
From the parched land.
Men, women and children
Goats, cows and dogs
Cats,...
No! No cats.
Cats are smarter!
Left the place
When the last lake dried.
Humans and animals
Trudging along the dusty road
Towards a few drops of water.
Suddenly, out of nowhere
Thick dark water laden clouds
Appear at the horizon.
Quite as suddenly they disappear
Leaving everyone confused.
Soon understanding dawns
And they shout in unison
"Damn it girl!
You raised our hopes.
That hair of yours
Is running loose.
Tie it now! Tie it right now!"

Never have I seen 
A brighter day than this.

It seemed like the sun
Has replenished
Its source of hydrogen.
H-twos, new and old
Procreating tiny heliums
At a pace faster than humans
While releasing a lot of energy.
I bask in the sunlight
But suddenly darkness envelops me.

"An eclipse!" I shout

"But no one told me about this.
How did this happen?
Is this the end of the world?"
Gradually, the darkness disappears.

It's bright again. 
I feel stumped.
I wonder "What happened? 

Ah! There she is.
Hey there! That hair of yours
Is running loose.

It's eclipsing the sun.
Tie it now! Tie it right now!"

Romeo sits by Juliet's grave.

He laments for her.

Suddenly, her voice 

Rings in his ear.

He looks up

And there she is,

Swaying in front of him.

He reaches out to her.

So does she.

But their hands don't meet

As his hands swishes through hers.

He covers his face
With his hands

And cries out aloud.

She comforts him.

"There, there!

Am I not with you?

So what if we can't

Touch each other.

We can talk to each other forever

And no one can do a thing.

We can be together, forever."

Romeo looks up just in time

To see Juliet's face disappear

Behind a dark cloud.

He screams "Nooooooooo!"

He hears her scream "Noooooo!"

She disappears!

In frustration, he shouts

"Damn it girl!

That hair of yours

By running loose
Has taken away my love.

Tie it now! Tie it right now!"

Not many know.

Not even Shakespeare!

That the disappearance of

Juliet's apparition

Was the cause of Romeo's death

For she never appeared again

Though Romeo pined for her 

At her grave for a week.

A week later,

At sunrise of the eight day

A girl found him 

Lying on Juliet's grave.

He was not dead yet,

A few breaths remained.

He spent these 

by advising the girl

"Damn it girl!

That hair of yours

By running loose
Has taken away my life.

Tie it now! Tie it right now!"
