The Blue Hat

It’s not made for cold days, as
it does not cover your ears.
It’s not made for windy days
as it blows away too easily.
It’s not made to wear with
the red dress in your closet,
as the colors will clash.
It’s not made to wear around
other people as they will stare
or burst out laughing and pointing.
There is nowhere to wear this
hat which is suspended over my
head by a thousand tiny threads.
