The Mohawk

What more can you say about mohawks? Of all of history’s hairstyles, they must have the highest Recognition:Trial ratio. I envy those free enough and fearless enough to get one. The only way that I can ever realistically see myself doing it is if I decide to cut my hair really short for some reason and in the process get an interim one-minute mohawk, just for the photo.
Have any of you ever tried a mohawk? Known someone who has? I had one friend-of-a-friend who had a mohawk one summer when we went camping. It was a tall spiky one, I think dyed purple or maybe maroon, with a tuft goatee beard to match. Funny how to him it was just another haircut. Just somethin’ to do.
Anyways, RE: the poem, I’m really looking forward to the day that I can have things like this properly illustrated rather than using PowerPoint. Then it will really come to life!
