“The back of yo’ head is ridiculous.”

-MadTV

            I’m becoming too distracted, during class or during conversation or, here, during mass, as I can only pay attention to the back of people’s heads, figuring out whole life stories from only the way certain strands of hair are pulled together or the number of bobby pins stuck on the sides, or the overuse of gel and other statue-ing products.

            I’ve become sort of an expert, I guess.
