My old man
was eating
his dinner
at the table
by the window.
I had eaten mine
and was attempting
to draw my toy
six shooter
from the holster
on my right side
as fast as I could.
My mother was
in the kitchen
sorting wash.
My sister was
in the other room
playing with her dolls.
I draw out the gun
and POW POW
I shoot at the bad guys
at the bar in the saloon
then put my gun back
in the holster.
You could
draw quicker
if you tied
a piece of string
through the holster
and tied it
around your leg
like they do
in the films
my old man says.
Can you do it?
I ask.
Sure
after I've eaten
he says.
I take out the gun
and twirl it
around my finger
like I had seen
it done at the movies
and then shoot POW POW
at the tall bad guy
who was going
to shoot me
from the side.
Last night
I was Billy the Kid
and was shot
by Pat Garrett.
Later I guess
I'll be Jesse James
and some ****
while shoot me
in the back.
