Being myself a depressive adult, something of a dinosaur, sheep-like in my bourgeois conventionality, donkey-like in my often ritualistic behavior, and also a (would-be) poet, I can say that you’ve definitely nailed it.

these relate to what the woman is wearing on her head.
Thanks for commenting and have a lyrical and lively New Year, Pete.
