A little-known New Jersey poet once wrote, “Everything dies, baby, that’s a fact. But maybe everything that dies someday comes back.” I have been praying to Jah a lot lately that he was referring to hair when he wrote that verse because, sadly, as I get up in age, the only part of my body that is thinning out is on my scalp. I actually saw it coming years ago and began flipping my hair to the side like Morrissey in hopes of creating a visual illusion of how much hair I actually as left. It’s gotten so bad that I recently started taking HIMS Viagra for hair. I haven’t noticed any difference yet, and the only thing getting harder is looking at myself in the mirror.
