Twisted Reality	Home- Poetry
A woman walks by with a dog And I see her Then I see her. It’s funny, the way my mind works First impression Average bordering on pretty Shapely and tan Dark hair, dark eyes Black shirt, red shirt Red shirt, red blood Second impression Prey, not predator Easy target? Perhaps Dark eyes cut left Dark eyes cut right Cut to cutting to knives Too wary Rejected “Check.” I turn to the clerk A gangly boy Smile disarmingly Slide the check across the counter Pull out my wallet Wife and kids smile up from a picture “Have a good day.” I nod “You too.” A grocery list tucked in a pocket Pick the stuff up Home by 6 Dinner, dishes Bills, bed Work tomorrow A plump woman smiles as I Pass her in the doorway I smile back The dual impressions start again.
