slow pace

Deer
are remarkably stupid
fucking creatures, or
maybe they were fine the way they were
but the world just got so fast.
The new predators aren't interested
in your flesh, dear.
They hate
to crash, rend and tear
into you.
But you keep
crossing through the world,
at a blithe, slow pace
like the worst thing you had
to worry about
was wolves.
