man with a beret
on the subway, i want to help you. you looked at me hopefully a few times, as if to say, “Should I be wearing this large, floppy, beret, jauntily, to one side? Should I have paired it with this dark lavendar pashmina? Tucked ascot style into my tweed jacket? I only ask because I either have no roommate, or the roommate I have and who I did aske, clearly is either crazy, or untrustworthy. Again, sorry to bother you, miss. Just don’t want to look like a gigantic asshole, you understand.”
Wow, I really pinpointed that look. God, I’m on sometimes.
