when i was a kid i cut my hair one day i was so upset i sat on the bathroom marble counter with my scissors the ones that i used to make little paper boy and girl chains with but not anymore cos i was so grown up which is why i cut my hair i just got most of it and it was so long into a pony tail on top of my head and chopped chopped chopped and got left with a hideous bald patch on top of my head and the hairdresser nearly cried when she saw it you have such beautiful hair why did you do that was it a boy it's always a fucking boy i didn't know it then because i had only just grown up but yes that is exactly what it was which was stupid cos of course looking like a boy was never going to help with the boy problem but i really wanted to cut my hair and wear lipstick bright red and look like a boy with my tie and my three-piece suit and my short hair and i left a little bit straggling at the end which i would plat and put glittery hairbands on it was just a bit of hair but it made everybody think i was a lesbian because that's what lesbians did it was a secret sign was the rumour flying round the high school at the time i don't care i'm not a lesbian i just had to cut my hair that day and cry on the cold marble counter and learn the hard way that cutting your hair won't make a damn bit of difference except i look very lovely in my boyish hair. and it's nice to stroke.
