It's Not the Man (It's the Hat)

"Hey you!
Yeah, you!
You with the nose.
I see you."

There around the campfire
He was holding court.

On his head sat
a most remarkable hat--
which was a red and purple
bird with crazy eyes.

When I thought he wasn't looking,
I slipped away.

The man with the hat
sent his goons to drag me back
to civilization.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!
You know who I'm talking about."

When they brought me
into the firelight,
he pointed at the bird.

"Have you forgotten about
this little guy?"

Like a dreamscape...and I wonder what starts it all...why the fire, why the sliding off.... A fun read with so many possibilities...and I like a good hat, too.
