Haircut

I want it all off, just cut it below the chin.

Are you sure? Wouldn’t a nice and pretty girl want something longer?

But i imagine her sweet face framed by short hair and

Hers that used to be pink until someone hit on her and then it,

That baby pink was gone & then black & then the brown that

i haven’t seen for years except for in the roots somewhere, in the pink

roots, her two buns that don’t look like Princess Leia buns but i tease her of anyways because she’s my Princess Leia and i’m on another planet/ Here’s to you, and no, i would like my hair below the chin. and make bangs too

and my 3 piercings will show from hair tucked behind the ears, a face that will

show from hair framed back, a face to show that i’m here and i’m not scared,

i am right here and i will not hide behind any hair,

The hair that i want below the chin, please.

Her tiny body that i want to cradle in my hands she’s so delicate/i don’t want to crush her

The woman i want to feel and a chest that swells,

With her stomach piercing that i admire a fake bling

i know it’s there underneath the long jean skirt she wears

And overalls with tan stockings, her short blue dress mixed with sweats

That shows her small chest &/sweaters with ribbons on the shoulders--

The things we carry on our shoulders. i will no longer wear my hair on my shoulders because i would like to cut it below the chin and dye it blonde, my shoulders will be naked & exposed, cold but they will be free so that i can show that i’m here.

Do you know that i kissed her? The Canadian girl who is more woman than me

who pierced her nose and tongue and who i always liked but didn’t know if she

Felt the same about me? The girl who is so fragile yet stronger than me/& who

Used to wear her hair in braids until she cut her hair below the chin so that

i saw her face? So no, i don’t want it long. i want it so that you can see

The pinks of my ears and my triple piercing and so that she can see

My face for the first time.
