How Many Hats?

the loss of hat after hat
the suffering that follows
weakened scalp, stony stomach
well, items hold a person back

blessed be their disappearance,
bless our long walks, our spaceheater
bless absences of all sorts; may they be brief and fruitful

or long and meandering, according to our holy indecisions

how to understand feeling versus choosing
losing versus setting aside
how to have so many hats
and then so few
