The Fuzz

It keeps growing

I pull at it

and tear it out

but it keeps growing

I yank until it bleeds

but it never stops growing

I can leave it alone

watch it grow

Primp it

Style it

Shape it

But eventually it has to go

So I cut it

Short

Very short

So short it can't be pulled

But then I'll leave it

sometimes for months

I'll even like it

preserve it on film

feel confident with it

That is

until it's presence is no longer welcome

and I grab the razor
