Not now, not never, not today, no way

Outstretches the hand i then swat away

Your eyes open wide

Offended, confused

Unaware of the shift you’ve caused in my mood

Condescending & crass your tone drops too

Asking rather rude, “why the attitude?”

Not now, not never, not today, no way

Tight-lipped is best for me to stay

Then on the bus an unwelcome touch

Of your fingers nestled deep in my fro

Unashamed you say “is this not okay?”

Causing my reaction as so

Hurt by you

Mind you i know

You’re ignorant so

Here’s what i can do

After yelling for a few

I

Restate…

No You Can’t Touch My Hair.
