You    
Weren’t      
Mindless      
But your      
Ponytail      
(ignorant ass ponytail)    
Sure was;    
It had no type    
Of sense,  
Didn’t know  
How to act  
(And she honestly  
Couldn't help it  
Either;  
She wasn't arrogant  
That's just how  
Her hair was)  
Considering      
It was      
The summer      
Of liberation      
For most      
Young      
Black women      
In the city,      
So the barber shop      
Had lined me up      
Like something      
Out of cosmopolitan      
With earrings,      
A cartilage piercing      
And make up      
To offset it;      
And you      
Carried enough      
Hair      
For the both of us.      
(On that dance floor)
