the pink gun

after showing you her new
pink lady gun tucked neatly
in her purse,
she talks about not wounding,
but killing an intruder
if he breaks into her home.
she uses her hand, as if the
gun, and says bang, bang.
I wouldn't wound him. i'd
try to kill him. self defense.
she blows at the tip of her
finger as if it was emitting
gunsmoke. I wouldn't feel
bad about it either, she
says. i'm going to the range
today to practice. come
with me. let me show you
how it's done.
