During a Walk,
he Saw it Written
in Chalk
on the Sidewalk
directly in front
of a looming House.
He stopped.
He looked around.
He looked back down.
There was More.
He read further:
THEY SEE U.
And then:
THEY DONT LIKE U.
And what does that mean, he wondered.
As though in response,
even further below
was a Stick Man
with x’s for Eyes
and a thick red Line
drawn thru—the Throat.
Blood?
He stopped.
He looked back up.
He thought he was Alone . . .
