Mary's Hat from Re-Entry by Zoo Front

Mary’s Hat, Mary’s Hat
What happens here is hard to follow
She swims through the rain and the haze
Her nonchalant focus remains unsteady
Speaks in French to the wrens and the jays

Mary’s Hat, Mary’s Hat
Dancing in daydreams at twilight
Dropping a coin in the well
Felines for comfort long after midnight
Confiding in creatures that will never tell

Mary’s Hat, Mary’s Hat
Courting a trial, she’s presiding
Writing a verdict at tea
Could there be evidence that she is hiding?
Take my advice and consider a plea

The wave in her hair does her bidding
Each strand stays in place on her head
Her felt chapeau keeps most of it hidden
She won’t take it off ‘til she gets you in bed
