A RUDE MAN PARKS CARS FOR A FANCY RESTAURANT AND I HAVE TO KILL HIM
 
My daughter takes a different path home each night.
She does this to avoid the man from the mountain.
He is huge, but very weak—a show off, a coward.
She knows this is what makes him so dangerous.
She knows this and this is why she is so careful.
She knows this and this is why she walks in the dark
cold extra steps, the damp cold, the rain, the sleet.
He will never offer her an umbrella or an extra coat,
but he is always capable of offering her a bribe.
