Have you ever lost a gunfight?

2.16.20

Maybe after or during a family dinner
or in a hotel lobby after having
been in the car for two hours too long.
Was it because you ran out of ammo
or was it cover that you lacked?

I lost a gunfight once.
I shot myself to get out of it
but I wasn’t let away.

My opponent proceeded to loose
and reload all her led, standing
over my corpse and shouting.
I was at home and had just paid
the phone bill by hand
because I don’t trust Verizon
or my bank.
