Stalking Apex Predators

Talk to yourself calmly in low tones.
This identifies you as human.
Walk off slowly, sideways, if you can.

Avoid eye contact. Do not approach.
Ideally, glide off like a shadow,
A shadow that’s talking to itself,

Suggesting you’re actually a group
Of shadowy humans. How pleasant,
How unthreatening, groups of humans

Talking to themselves in shadows are.
Certainly no harm could come from you!
Now you just have to wait to attack.
