009.365 - death in the desert


the cowboy drew his gun and fired then holstered
faster almost than we could watch
the young man who had challenged sneered
finished drawing his gun then looked surprised
sagged to the ground and laid it down
I and the other tourists looked around
was this a show and would the two break character now?
but the young man lay awkwardly beneath the sun
the cowboy mounted a horse and rode away
the sheriff stepped out from the bar and swore
and I went in to buy a drink
