winter hat does no good

it looks like a wig
but stands strong
in the wind
as it almost blows away
all my thoughts on a voyage
out west with her she carries
her book by VC Andrews
under her arm never read
but heard of the flowers
with me a notebook
and a pocket full of pens
only time will tell
most definitely not a wig
at second glance
she doesn’t even know
this pen dances about her
being here in this place
young like me might be too young
to understand the potency of words
so much happening
in short time sitting
watching three men
figure out the bill
wondering what she reads
and is easily distracted
by all that is going on
nervously tapping her cigarette
into the ashtray
not even realizing the lit part
fell off into the glass
always wondering
about what it all means
knowing that a winter
hat does no good
if its not covering the ears…
