One evening
we stood together
waiting for our number
to be called
I snatched my gun from him
the Korean man, its the end
In the morning,
I line up
when its my turn
to draw my butt
its 227, my favourite gun
I took her there
with me
everywhere that i go.
I cock her oftenly
to check that
her chamber is clear
at night its time to go
I oil her
and clean her
and line up
to return my butt
in the armoury.
----
In the evening
I met her there
she is a keeper of my secrets
my victories and defeats
I met her dad
and he nod his head
Is she my responsibility?
