Can I?


Girl

Wanna get your hair fixed

I know this really good place that will relax you

Wow

I’ve never touched kinky hair

How is your hair softer than mine but looks so

Kinky

Touch

 

Your hair is so short does it ever grow

It must be nice

Not having to worry about fixing your hair

Do you wash it

Really

How often

I’ve never touched kinky hair

Touch

 

I can see every curl it is so

So

So

Kinky

 

Touch

Touch

Touch

 

No

Keep your hands away from my curls

This isn’t a fucking petting zoo

I don’t need to relax

But maybe you need a perm

 

Then I can constantly touch your hair

Creating tangles

Ruining curl patterns

Spreading germs

Stripping strands of precious oils

Without permission

 

Touch
