HOLY BEANIE, BATMAN. . .

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

THE SHADOW OF HALLOWEEN EVE, EVE
It’s an annual BILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS that casts a large shadow on a lot of pocketbooks and wallets and there’s no hint of it ever stopping on this
HALLOWEEN EVE, EVE
where things go bump in the night
and crash, boom, bam during the day
and the quickly falling shadows. . .
It’s amazing how we stand in our own shadow
and wonder loudly why it is so dark . . . .
THE SHADOW
I feared the most was
the one that could
hurt me the least
which made me fear it
all the more
The sound
The smell
The feel of skin crawling
hair raising on the back of my neck
itchingly
All SCREAMING
All YELLING
ABORT
BEWARE
R U N
All
just a shadow
caused something a Light
created but never clarified
An Illusion
of what could harm me
but never will

N O W
that’s a Treat any Tricky Shadow can appreciate. . .
