On a filthy street corner in a town on the outskirts of the City we congregated I was the only white & was dressed in my usual tattered finery, ripped jeans & a silk shirt halfway undone I imagined myself a sea rover of the Spainish Main silver 38. tucked in my back waistband I glanced at my 3 comrads, gangsters of the lower class sagging jeans dreadlocks reeking of **** I imagined myself a rover but in truth we were nothing but societys corrosion words were exchanged by my comrad & another rover from down the way louder & angrier until shots rang out & shattered the evenings trance snapping into action fire was returned we held ground until music from the keepers of law sang down the street we scattered I sailed to the train tracks but was pursued I turned & raised my silver 38. but the lawman's bullets took me down hard the last thing I remember was the sky beautiful and orange with the coming of dusk the most beautiful evening I had ever seen
