Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Attack

I am jogging in the park.
Suddenly, this guy comes at me.
I see a knife flash in the dark.
He orders me menacingly
To take off both my socks and shoes,
And then to sit down on the ground.
Fearing stabbing if I refuse,
I comply. His actions astound.
He licks my toes, holding my feet,
Then sets them down and runs away.
I tell a cop, walking his beat.
The licker's caught later that day.

It could have been worse, I suppose.
I'm glad the cops were on their toes.
