I am still
or again
FIXATED with hats
I just ran across a hat
& it REOPENED
I REMEMBERED
that time I was on the news
charlotte and I
we're at
MYSTERY CON -- which, counter-intuitively
SCIENCE FICTION convention
with heavy focus on
WRITERS
Theodore Sturgeon
I remember hearing him
anyway
I was DRESSED up
BUT
I WASN'T
COS-playing
I was wearing the
doctor who scarf
I knitted
I don't remember what clothes I was wearing
IT WAS the HAT
I-- I'm SURE you will be shocked--
shopped in VINTAGE stores
I WISH I still had that hat
it was this NAVY BLUE vaguely FLYING SAUCER
it was MADE of some
ALIEN basketry
SEMI- indestructible
with
this single FAT ANTENNA sticking up
at a jaunty angle
ANYWAY
