what you aim at,

Sir,

is not an
empty can of beans
perched atop a
snowy fence post,

nor is it a
shadowy deer
gliding through
your autumn forest.

rather,

your arms steady,
your eye focussed,
your finger gentle

on the trigger,

you plot

to end the life of a
brother human being,

lest he
end yours.
