< a poem inspired by a complete stranger >
at night
(of course)
walking behind someone who is a complete stranger
(a complete stranger as per the PigPen NaPM 2015-4-21 specification)
i feel a certain tension
a fear which is expected when
someone walks behind you on a dark street
(who happens to be a complete stranger too as this
is a universal symmetry required of complete strangers)
a fear
a certain tension to be relieved
"I don't intend to harm you", I say,
"there is no need to be afraid."
