EXPOSED

"Crimps"

They burn their hair

and blister their scalp

then they turn and bitch

societal pouts

then braid and bleach it

twist it and curl it about

for the demands of man

in man's eyes land

then with fierce pride

and quite a stammer

they proclaim and hail,

it is a practical matter

I guess I am just a man

and not one to judge

I'll just smile and hold

and watch her hair unfold
