happens on a side street
maybe
happens on a main street
lion bites zebra neck
zebra stomps lion head
it's just this
justice aversion
for the improper way
things are done today
i root for the underdog
no matter who they are
like the bank robber in the getaway car
i could stay up all night talking
about animal nature
and a universe hesitant
to grant us grace
it could happen on a side street
it could happen on a main street
