"Drawing Listeners"

" Drawing Listeners "

Drawing listeners cryptically
with crisp beats
methodically and cerebrally

alluding to seemingly upbeat
experiences simultaneously
irritating and ingratiating

while streaking both
vertically and horizontally
as galloping drumbeats

veering standoffishly
via embracing backbeats
in minor keys sung lavishly
with telepathic ease...
