Innocence Prevails?

I Got lost Wandering Around at night Fearless of all harm With innocence I smiled At a stranger saying hi. He stopped me by his gaze, I smiled Then he unzipped his pants, I still smiled He looked around for eyes, no one was there Devilishly smiling, he turned to me, I blushed “Sir, peeing on streets is impolite." He turned away.

Good and funny poem. I use reality and imagination in my writings. So I am curious about this poetry. That man must have lost his mind. But you were very respectful and kind enough to re-direct him. We should be merciful to vulnarable people like him. God Bless you.

provoking, and gloomy. some might find it funny, yet I find this hidden darkness in it. loved it, simple and easy, yet easy to understand completely. great write.
