In Each
Other’s Cross-hairs
by
Richard Swanson
I
got this gun to save me
from
my next door neighbor who
says
I’m crazy and has all these guns,
which
makes me crazy
and
makes me buy guns.
I’m
not crazy, it’s you,
I
tell him you’re nuts for
having
those guns,
but
not if you’re neighbor, says he,
to
someone like you with
all
those guns, that’s . . .
