Sticky Hair

“Oh, gross!”
A chorus of groans
at the thought
of her sticky hair
in a world
without indoor plumbing
or hot water
regular bathing
teens hearing the message
at their level,
focusing first and foremost
on her sticky hair

Based on the sermon,
“Extravagant Love” by
the Reverend Lori Eldredge,
Wesley United Methodist Church,
Concord, NH on March 25, 2007
and the discussion in our Middle High
Sunday School class
John 12:1-8
