To Alice


I purchased the old locket while shopping one day. On the inside it reads in scrawled calligraphy, “To Alice”, also there is a bit of hair under a glass: brown, curly, and soft.

Now it is true that I do not know whom Alice was, is, or what relationship she had to this hair_ but it is nice hair.

A pleasant waitress named Alice waited on me a few weeks ago; maybe that’s it? But somehow I keep thinking of the hair and inscription and I know there is more to the story. Anyway, Alice is a nice name, and I was just thinking of her.
