The sweet smell of just washed hair
came past me one day
while i was swimming
in whiskey colored air

I was amazed
how one could smell
and thought of that water
that morning, running through her hair

Wishing gently thinking
and wanting to be that smell
or just once
to be the one running my fingers
through her brilliant soft hair

The dream was wet
with deep passionate emotion
swimming through the finely layered air
I fell into the sink the next morning
Just for a chance to touch
that silky smooth soft hair

You really are writing from the stance of an ant, aren't you?  How else could you fit in the sink, AND not be noticed by the hair bearer...  

A great idea, now that I think on it...
There are so many things you could see and do as an ant that you can't do as a human.  

Very interesting!

I really liked a lot about this peice, but the constant repeat of "hair" kept distracting me. Perhaps you meant it to be that way?
