On the edge of the sink
a razor rests disposable.

In the medicine cabinet
a canister of Barbasol
waits to be discharged.

In the mirror, a face
In the mirror, a beard

The soft blond fuzz, GONE.
I think what works for me in this, and you should probably find ways to emphasize it more: Is the waiting of the elements (the razor on the edge of the sink, the shaving cream waiting to spray). It's all potential building up. I know that seems heavy but it's sort of a transformation metaphor. In that light, rests may be the wrong word though the sonics sound nice, perhaps poised. The beard as Schrodinger's cat. I don't know just thoughts.
