Man

The new soundsystem spoke

after we’d gone to bed. I didn’t know

you had to shut it off special.

Two men’s mumbling voices,

and the spell of sleep broke. “Bump”

does not raise me in the night;

the sound of Man, tho, and I stand

ready, heart pressing adrenaline

through muscle hard, every alveolus

open and filled, my mind decided

among tactics I did not know I knew.

Fear lives with those who will survive.

And nothing lives that fears not Man,

including Man. Yet, there is no animal

the sight of which makes me hungry.
