Teach Me

Written in a field behind the high school. Yes, this actually happened. The sound of the shot freaked me out and sort of made me angry. Guns aren't cool. Neither is killing. Written: May 16, 2008.

In nature, I always learn.

Even when I am relaxed,
Breathing slow,
Listening to a bird's music,
Letting the breeze just blow...

I can hear it.

A gun shot in the distance.
Another practice shot for
Another deer dead.
On a mantle.
In their greedy stomachs.

How depressing.
