Where were you going?
Lady in the Red Beret
Reflection captured
In a distorted reality
Like a moment in a dream

A felt hat in Feltham
Lidl bag proclaiming
A shopping trip maybe?
Or something to deliver
To a friend?

Others standing close
Muted greys concealing
Muted thoughts
Your hand outstretched you await
The release of the doors…

Red Beret
