All in the head (?)

All in the head (?)

Twigs on the trees waving like a wave

Tension in the air – like it’s gonna break

Calypso tunes in the background

Conflicting – as inappropriate to the mood

Scarecrows silhouetted in the dark

Nobody about in the deserted park

Begin to hurry as the tension builds

Fear is a factor like a burning grill

Sizzling aspects of rhyme

Bring the elements together

In a surge of overwhelm –

Can’t get to tomorrow fast enough –

to escape the bother

On-a-knife-edge atmosphere

It seems quite clear

It’s all in the imagination

As underground spies and cohorts

Suddenly disappear
