a cock on the walk
with a certain amount of swagger
skirts past the cafe windows
places to go
big strides getting there
at a table inside her eyes catch Me
and are caught by Me,
and move along with Me,
before quickly darting back to her date,
who shoots a startled glance My way,
the random piercing opening up
into a territorial affront
to bleed quietly
as I walk on,
unconcerned with this nick between them
however slight
however deep
I sliced....
