The Old Fedora

The Old Fedora

A Poem by Ken e Bujold

The old gray fedora, felt

Like wisdom, full of stories

I misplaced through the years

                                                but                                                 

The hat -- I’d never forget

                                           that --                                           

How it sat

Cocked atop the wavy thatch

Of snow --

 

The speckled brim worn

Smooth, buffed  

By the years

Finger licks, tugging

                                  hallos

To old friends, strangers

                                        who                                        

Stop to chat -- inquire

About the old times

                                 or                                

simply to admire --

The old fedora  

I kept to keep my memories

                                              intact                                              

-- of the old man and

The stories he kept inside the hat.
