A PITY THIS IS WHAT WE'RE ONE IN

like a fugitive


I walk down a daily avenue

scanning the scene

for hidden horrors


any camera can track me

as I pass store after store

after street crossing after store


anyone...anyone...who passes me

on the sidewalk

can be my assassin


and all eyes I catch

avert from my glance

as I instinctively do also


all of us on the run from something
