The Smell of Victim

You have much of the smell of victim about you
walking too fast
walking too slow

You have much of the smell of victim about you
not meeting a stranger's gaze
not breaking contact if you do

You have much of the smell of victim about you
unaware of what moves behind
unaware of what lies in lurk ahead

You have much of the smell of victim about you
opening your wallet in the street
engaging the insane in conversation

You have much of the smell of victim about you
and like a careless squirrel
you won't see the cat until it pounces.
