You hear his footsteps
Following behind you
At first you doubt yourself
Maybe he isn't
You speed up
And he speeds up
You hear everything about him
How big he is
How low
His center of gravity
You keep walking and you listen
To his restless, breathless following
You turn down an alley
In Bad City
He turns down the same alley
And then you know
"Hey", he says
Your teeth come out
In this bad city
"Hey beautiful"
He keeps coming
"Hey"
And you know it will be
The last thing he ever says
