There was a shootout
somewhere near here
and I've been scratching
the belly of the dog pretty
hard, but was sound
asleep an hour before
it happened. The bar
closed yesterday and I
hope no one got hurt,
especially the old Nam
vet who's been teaching
me to shoot better pool,
because without that hole
I don't know where else
my insides could drain to,
where else my insides
would not matter and
the only thing that did
was whether or not I
could lose with class.
