they'll always think they're right;
just hop away
those who storm at you
and pretend that it is you
who came up with the plan
to undermine the ground
on which we stand
just float away
as though you were the ghost
they saw clear through
snowshoe bright on winter's night:
they have
when seen in public
there with you
on the public sidewalk
suddenly grown chill
as though you were invisible
from the high, high hills
they imagine they inhabit
where they are the hunter
and,at best,
you're just the rabbit.
and you're in their range
cause it always, always you
who's just so strange.
