missing hat
I used to have this hat
I found it in a basket in an old thrift store and I loved it.
I wore it everywhere.
To school
to work
even to bed.
I wore this hat everywhere until one day it disappeared
and I always wondered where it went.
Maybe it grew wings and flew away
or packed a bag and hit the streets
or maybe it met a pair of sunglasses and they had a baby bonnet together.
Maybe it went to some far away place along with everything else I've lost
and it lives there with my favorite socks, a gameboy, and that $20 my grandma gave me for my 11th birthday.
But I hope not
I hope it’s in a basket at an old thrift store.
