"eyes screwed"
to the dark
you know you are the prey
you've got a sock full of money
they already know
where you hid it
and they are waiting for you
in the shadows
every dark imagining
you know your chances
sailor
of getting jumped
before you make it
to the end of the dock
because they
are waiting
for you
in your pocket
you carry a buck knife
it will not save you
but it has weight
and the shadows lurk
the weight of buck in fist
will knock anyone out
the dock is long
the shadows longer
you wonder why
you left the ship
and grin...
you want to see
a woman smile
