Here and There

I cut my own hair
and prune my own bushes

own several pairs of striped socks
and dress conservative

however
I have strange ideas that another time and place
would have placed me into awkward situations

such as being burned at the stake
or in control of a beehive
madam of a harem
or shuffling litter with a broom
at the Biltmore

please,
when shall I make up my mind?
