Here we have
an ordinary man
more or less feeling pain
who thinks something
needs saying with
a Tongue wrapped around
a gun, a prehensile tongue
pulling a trigger.
So he learns
how to pull
a trigger that way: it’s
not impossible
but not easy.
A broad rush
of words on the wind
crossing his ear delivers
instructions.
Quick student.
Hell of a wind
blowing out there.
Lots of people
listening.
Lots of people
stretching their tongues.
