I wonder if they can hear my footsteps

I wonder if they can hear my jagged breath going

Faster    faster  faster fasterfasterfaster

My heartbeat races when I hear a man laugh.

My safe zone is the  f l i c k e r i n g  streetlight

I thought dressing in baggy clothes would help

At least I can hide my pepper spray.

I know I’m safe when I can hear the click of a woman's heel.

Although a fellow woman is on sight

 

are

            We

                        safe?
