That IT was HIM
LATE LAST NIGHT
"Shaking the bushes"
Barking the dogs --
HOARSE
Night prowling --
ENDLESSLY
Circling the perimeters
This depraved predator
Seeking opportunities
"Flying by night"
"Playing it by ear"
"Trying to decide"
What to do next --
How to proceed
Upping the ante --
Over HIS vendetta
Gorging himself --
On this one thing
"Weighing the odds"
"Tipping the scales"
"Looking for options"
So many possibilities --
It must twirl his mind
HIS victim's lives' --
Are one MASSIVE
COOKIE JAR!
It gratifies HIM --
To do these things
It titillates HIM --
All this stalking
It's NEVER enough
To fill him up
There aren't adequate --
YEARS remaining in his
TRIVIAL existence
This is the MOST --
M-E-A-N-I-N-G-F-U-L,
Phase of his --
V-A-C-A-N-T LIFE!
It excites him so --
HIS every maneuver
HIS energy is boundless --
He's the Ever Ready
Stalker
"Spinning his wheels"
In the motion picture --
"As The Stalker Turns"
It's HIS MOMENT --
POWER --
IMPORTANCE --
PLEASURE
Some of us play ---
With needy budgets
HE plays with victims
There's nothing else --
Within HIM anywhere
He's simplicity in its --
Most virulent form
He's what went wrong --
In evolution's mixer.
He's most utterly --
MISTAKEN
Yet within the future's --
Realm of reality
WHAT'S
MORE SIGNIFICANT --
Is that he's a mistake!
A dangerous sickling --
Mentally disturbed!
HE NEEDS treatment!
The odds dictate --
That it was HIM
LATE LAST NIGHT
"Shaking the bushes"
Barking the dogs --
Hoarse!
