The Assassin

I stalk.
So skilled am I,
Oh! pathetic prey.
No hope!
For you I have
A hidden knife,
Or--
Arsenic!
A mace,
A missile.
Nuclear War!
Be sure of this
When I am through,
You'll scatter like--
Pigeons.

Some of you
Might even die,
At least you'll wince,
Maybe you'll cry,
When I unveil
My evil craft:

A killer of conversations,
I stalk you where you speak!
Cower from my awkward clause,
The awkward pause,
And flee.
