Beardscapes
I.
There are landscapes and seascapes, yes
but are there mindscapes, gutscapes?
smellscapes for the dog's wondrous nose?
are there beardscapes?
Scapes of stubble and skin?
II.
My hand checks the imperfection of my shave
It feels the slight variances, rough spots
Moving with and against the grain
Better even than my imperfect eye
III.
The blade is sharp
Though encased in a mechanism to ensure "safety"
I scrape it against my face
In the shower, without a mirror
An exercise in proprioception
Or stupidity
On the stove
The Water is boiling
