    Predator

    Who are you?
    One fit for the day,
    Yet alone in the night...
    Inflicting upon it an air of superiority;
    Concealing a grin,
    As it humbly embraces the refuge of your shadow.

    So I'll get a little closer.
    But wait...

    Who are you?
    Erect by the street;
    More motionless than your surroundings.
    And like a venomous snake,
    Intimidating the air to stillness...
    Allowing your exhaled smoke
    A chance to quickly flee,
    And warn the heavens of your presence.

    So I'll break the stillness.
    But wait...

    Who are you?
    A bright round face,
    Boasting plump rouge cheeks...
    Clean to the touch,
    Yet filthy with years of abuse.

    Closer...
    But shit.

    Who are you?
    Rugged skin,
    Choked with unearthly scars.
    A swollen eye,
    Casting as a sun,
    In the theatre of perception;
    Illuminating the agony
    Of an unnatural smile.

    And your flaws,
    Simply add to your perfection...
    Composing a courageous melody,
    In the symphony of beauty;
    In the orchestra of life.

    I must see your story.
    I must live your tale.

    But not now.
    As you step into the bus.
    And until tomorrow comes.
    I must again wait.
