Where Are Your Manners?

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

You’re ignorant so

Restate…
No You Can’t Touch My Hair.
