who would wear that

She is new to our community
A woman who wears a scorpion necklace
Who would wear that? Some naysayers wonder aloud.
I have a cousin, an aunt and know two drag queens who would.
I keep my mouth shut as the conversation commences.
Wondering if I should tell them about my favorite book.
“You cannot afford the luxury of a negative thought.”
