I'm glad to be able to join. I look forward to reading your stuff and
receiving your comments, and I also recommend octupus stew.
THE PASSING ON OF HATS
You had this thing for millinery
or, rather, didn't. Didn't care
what lidded you. If it were columnar
your high object was achieved.
Or if it were a scarlet flare
with corky grapes. Or feather starred
fox jaws. Or bandolee'd in finery.
You simply sent your best pin
wrestling the mirror. "La-di-dah"
you'd say, "Baroness Muck," then
sail off to town, in that ladyship way
to net another specimen.
I rummage in the attic. Can't say
where they all have gone.
