Succession – 100 words

May 2, 2023 By Ellen

Succession

This week a man gets a new hat,

or rather it’s a very old hat

and it’s made of metal and stones

not knitted for comfort or warmth

and it won’t keep the sun off,

but it is the hat he was born to wear

a destiny hat, if you like.

One day perhaps, squirming children in a history class,

will learn about

Charles III of the United Kingdom

in the same lesson they learn about

other things that are no longer relevant

such as blackboards, fax machines,

a fixed mindset, malnutrition,

preventable disease, racism, fossil fuels,

and the patriarchy.
