Combination lock
Rental unit paid
On a quiet block
On a sunny day
Look inside and see
Nothing much to comment
This old mystery
And what rests upon it
Click, click slides the gun
Bent at anyone
For a price I do
What I need to do
Coffee shop at dawn
Hardly hear a drip
Hardly anyone
Take another sip
Follow, not too close
Trail a mark for days
I resume my place
Where the skulls are weighed
Softly is the way
Alley blind as bats
There is hell to pay
There's a stray cat
Break
Something gone amiss
Feel so out of place
No longer the grist
Opens to a chase
Have to catch my breath
Have to realign
Out here I caught death
Waiting for a sign
Click, click…
