a mile down the road

i can smell trouble.
like
fish
on the shore washed up.
like
the rat in the alley
belly up.
the can
turned over.
the trash truck rolling
by.
i've got a fine nose
these
days for who i don't
want to be
around.
whether underfoot
or a mile down
the road.
i've learned the hard
way
to keep the stink away.
