Hat-less

Festival of Faith and Writing: Hats mush my hair, so I don't wear them. Still, I am envious of people who do..for example: the panache of the woman in the purple velvet beret

I sat and watched hats
Move through
The space
The purple velvet
Beret.
The cowboy hat.
I wondered
What each one wrote
Or read.
I drank coffee
Hat-less.
If I wore a hat
What would it say.
To that purple velvet
Beret?
