Cover your head

So the answer is,
cover your head;
instead of attracting
you’re said to rid yourself
of unwelcome attention.

Conditions apply naturally,
elevated in their entirety
by a spokesman for
the affected gender.

Swathe yourself three inch muslin
if you must, present an appearance
of endless bandages, it will halt badinage
about your advertising for sexual assault,
though you’ll appear is if in triage.

Devout men say a woman’s uncovered
head inspires outrageous and uncontainable
lust, it is just possible – certainly at times
a woman wants it that way. But they
don’t get a say in the matter.

So the answer is,
be rendered
one sense less
or cover your head.
