Mysterious Man
Walking down the street
what do I see?
A man dressed in black.
Who is this man?
With his black cape.
His mask covering his eyes.
Everyone paused in silence.
They turned and stared.
It got quiet, real quiet.
He walked past me.
He stopped and looked at me.
He turned back.
I didn't understand.
Why is he here?
Why did he look at me?
Suddenly, he dissapeared.
Who was that man?
That mysterious man?
