Running across danger
As far as one can tell
Was in the form of a passing stranger
Who seemed as though he’d been through hell
He’d walked across the desert
The whole way in soleless shoes
He seemed to me a bit on edge
Like he had nothing left to lose
He stumbled to station
Looking for his thirst to be quenched
Then he looked over in my direction
I could see his fist was clenched
I tried to turn my head away
It’s at this time I had regret
But before I turned my head around
Is when our two eyes met
He started inching towards me
It’s then I turned to walk away
I could see that he walked after me
So I took off without delay
I still think back to that day
Of what the outcome could have been
Had I stayed around to meet this man
Would my face have been smashed in
