Now it’s clear that white-
Bearded coughing old
Man my bike almost ran over
Holding a sickle in his right hand and dangling
A fag from his nicotine-stained left
Could not have been death incarnate,
So why did that image of him rising abruptly up
Through the darkness of morning scare
The living daylights out of me?
Because it could have been.
