HOLY BEANIE, BATMAN. . .
W H O A
STOP RIGHT THERE. . .
I don’t know if I can fully understand let alone figure out all the time what I’m thinking and now
ABRACADABRA
PRESTO
We have a hat you can wear that’ll do it all for you
Pretty high SCI-FI stuffs, huh. . .

Now instead of giving you a PIECE OF MY MIND
you can have it without me saying a word. . .
JUST THINKING ONE
I may know what I’m thinking
before I know what I’m thinking
. . .but FEELING
EXPERIENCING IT
might be a whole another
A I
m a t t e r. . .

NOT JUST A HAT
IN A WORLD WHERE WE ARE KNOWN AND OFTEN CHAMPIONED
FOR ALL OF THE HATS WE WEAR. . .

WHO WOULD THINK
IT’S NOT THE ONE’S WE WEAR
IT’S THE ONE’S WE DON’T WEAR

THAT JUST MAY MATTER
THE MOST. . . .
(Sometimes it all comes down to a hat. . .)
