It's all potential building up. I know that seems heavy but it's sort of a transformation metaphor. In that light, rests may be the wrong word though the sonics sound nice, perhaps poised. The beard as Schrodinger's cat. I don't know just thoughts.
On the edge of the sink
a razor rests disposable.
In the medicine cabinet
a canister of Barbasol
waits to be discharged.
In the mirror, a face
In the mirror, a beard
The soft blond fuzz, GONE.
The secret of poetry is cruelty.--Jon Anderson
