It was time for a haircut. Lenny didn’t even have to look in the mirror. Even though he was going bald, he knew that he needed to cut his hair every two weeks.
He had a "tongue" of hair on the top of his head. His hair was thinning at the crown. He still had plenty of hair on the sides and back. It was what they call "salt and pepper," a mixture of gray hair and dark brown hair. It was only a few years, he figured, until the salt and pepper became just salt.
He never let his hair grow for more than two weeks. The longer it got, the worse it looked, he thought.
He spread a newspaper over the bathroom sink so that no hair went down the drain. He plugged in the clippers and started cutting his hair. He started at the back of his head, went to the sides, and finished on the top. Every minute or so, he had to clean the hair out of the blades with an old toothbrush.
Finished, he picked up a hand mirror to check out the back of his head. Everything looked okay. He carried the newspaper back out to the kitchen and shook the hair clippings into the trash can.

Thời gian cho việc cắt tóc. Lenny thậm chí không có thời gian để nhìn vào gương. Mặc dù ông ta đã hói, ông biết rằng mình phải cắt tóc mỗi hai tuần.
Ông đã có "cái lưỡi" của mái tóc trên đỉnh đầu. Tóc của ông mọc thưa thớt trên phần đỉnh đầu. Ông vẫn còn nhiều tóc ở hai bên và quay trở lại. Đó là những gì mà họ gọi là "muối và tiêu", một hỗn hợp của tóc màu xám và màu nâu sậm. Nó chỉ còn một vài năm, ông tưởng tượng, cho đến khi muối và tiêu trở thành muối.
Ông không bao giờ để tóc phát triển hơn hai tuần. Nó dài, nhìn tồi tệ hơn, ông nghĩ.
Ông lót một tờ báo trên phòng tắm để tóc không đi xuống ống thoát nước. Ông cắm phích điện máy cắt và bắt đầu ông cắt tóc. Ông bắt đầu phía sau của đầu ông, đi bên cạnh và hoàn thành. Một phút hoặc lâu hơn, ông làm sạch tóc ở lưỡi cắt với một bàn chải đánh răng cũ.
Hoàn tất, ông soi gương để kiểm tra lại phía sau đầu. Mọi việc nhìn thấy ổn. Ông xếp tờ báo lại trở vào bếp và bỏ những tóc đã cắt vào thùng rác.

Đã đến lúc cắt tóc. Lenny chẳng cần phải nhìn vào gương. Mặc dù với cái đầu đã bắt đầu hói, hắn cho rằng cần phải cắt tóc mổi hai tuần một lần.
Hắn chỉ còn một mảnh tóc mỏng trên đỉnh đầu. Quanh thái dương và gáy vẩn còn khá nhiều tóc, là cái thứ người ta vẩn gọi là "mưối tiêu", là sự pha trộn của tóc bạc và tóc nâu sẩm. Hắn nhẩm tính, chỉ mới vài năm, mưối đả trở nên nhiều hơn tiêu.
Hắn chẳng khi nào để quá hai tuần mới cắt tóc. Hắn nghỉ rằng tóc càng dài, nhìn càng tệ.
Trải rộng một tờ báo xuống bồn tắm để tóc không rơi xuống hố ga, hắn cắm điện cái tông-đơ và bắt đầu tự cắt tóc. Bắt đầu từ phía sau gáy, sang thái dương và kết thúc trên đỉnh đầu. Vài phút hay nhiều hơn, với một chiếc bàn chải đánh răng củ, hắn phủi sạch tóc khỏi các lưởi dao của tông-đơ.
Để kết thúc, hắn nhón lấy chiếc gương soi nhỏ, xem xét phía sau gáy, mọi thứ có vẻ ổn. Hắn mang tờ báo xuống bếp và trút mớ tóc vừa cắt ra, vào trong thùng rác.

Cắt tóc: Mỗi lần cắt tóc, Lenny không nhìn vào kiếng, tuy đầu anh ta thẳng và hói, anh ta biết cần phải cắt chúng vào 2 tuần mỗi lần. Tóc anh ta hói thành hình cái lưởi thật cao với những sợi tóc mỏng nằm trên đỉnh đầu Anh ta để tóc mọc ra nhiều ở đằng sau và 2 bên. Nó như mõi người nói " muối và tiêu " nó pha trộn 2 màu xám và nâu đậm, chỉ vài năm nửa từ 2 màu đen trắng sẽ trở thành một màu trắng. Anh ta không để tóc mọc trên 2 tuần hoặc lâu hơn, nhìn nó anh ta thấy lo lắng. Anh ta trải tờ báo lên trên bồn rửa mặt, nhu vậy những sợi tóc được cắt ra sẽ không trôi xuống ống thoát nước. Anh ta cắm phích điện vào kéo và bắt đầu cắt tóc của mình. Anh ta bắt đầu cắt từ phía sau và đi dần sang 2 bên kết thúc ở trên đỉnh đầu. Khỏang 1 phút anh ta rửa sạch tóc trên lưởi dao bằng một cái bàn chải đánh răng cũ. Xon xuôi anh ta lấy gương kiểm tra lại phía sau đầu, nhìn thấy mọi thứ ổn, anh ta cầm tờ báo đi ra nhà bếp và lắc cho tóc vừa cắt rơi vào thùng rác. Sau đó anh ta đi tắm.
