I have no pouf as Marie Antoinette wore.
I have no headgear in any tower displaying
a churning sea, some ducks, and at the top of the do
a mill with the miller's wife flirting with a priest.
Clothes will never save you.
No matter how you pretend in them or what you put on.
Even Diana, it turned out, had extra dresses sewn inside
her outer ones. "Stab-proof," that's what they called them after.*
