Bristles & Broad-strokes

Heartbeats & brainwaves,

Something’s afoot.

Old hats & new steps,

Raking in loot.

Out with the good air,

In with bad.

Dizzy & ditsy,

Making us mad.

Who pulled the Red Sox,

Over my eyes?

Was it a villain

Wrapped in disguise?

Heartbeats & brainwaves,

Something’s afloat—

Hidden from our-view

Sinking the boat.

Bristles & broad-strokes,

Blood-splattered smears,

Shiver our timbers,

Heat up our fears.

Whose brittle candies

Fall on the floor—

Shattering Sweet Dreams,

Forever-more?
