“To Be Hunted”,

2025 January 17

I am driving somewhere in a borrowed car,

On an old, abandoned road, better off alone.

Like somebody drinking scotch at a bar,

Waiting for the liquid to burn his throat.


But the man follows me upon the trail,

Like a memory I cannot forget.

I try to shake and lose his tail,

But his tank is full and his sights are set.


The trees and snow overwhelm my sight,

And I cannot see much in front of me;

When something runs into and breaks my headlight,

Causing me to run the car into a tree.


He walks out of his car with his .9.

In his eyes I frantically search for some sign

Of mercy; but finding none, I completely resign.

Dead.
