Beauty School

At the Medford, Oregon, airport,

the Sky House Bar and Grill
(one floor up) looks past runways
to flat baked grass and green,
lumpy hills. The server

says she's going to Beauty
School--which takes me back
to when women went to
"beauty shops," not salons

or spas. I hope she earns
a Ph.D. in Beauty and becomes
a noted scholar in the field.
Her ways, wit, and face

suggest she has the aptitude.
