weird stuff i think about

i've been thinking for a while
about covering my hair
i don't really know why
it's just something i'm starting to want to do

and you might think
i'd want a tichel
or something
and
i maybe want to want that
because what i really want
is like
weirder

and
if i'm honest
maybe

only
not not with some kind of prairie dress

with something like

but
i like this too
[not the flowery skirt, i'm thinking with those pants]

but it's the bonnet that started the whole thing

and this one's nice
because
it doesn't tie under the chin
and it doesn't look
mormon
or
mennonite
or
amish
or whatever
it looks
revolutionary american
or
revolutionary french

but
how
can i get away with wearing that
i bet
it'd even look good on me

every time i go to some historical place
i have to fight the desire to buy a bonnet
and they are usually calico
which makes it easier
i had some
back in the 70s
when i got away with it fine
but i was a kid

i don't know why i want to dress like that

where does that come from
