I know my thoughts
will one day no longer be private
and I can live with that
but because of them just now
I can through the eyes of
the future readers' retrospect
live with the wearing of
another hat
which is now just that of me as I am
on this very day
but a woman who is/was known for
what she penned as rhyme to openly say...........
