He must have been at home

I was in barracks

He must have said goodbye to his family

I left my final letter on my pillow

He knew his responsibilities

So did I.

He hid is weapon

Climbed a roof

Waiting for me.

I checked my weapon

My friend.

I walked those streets.

He took his chance

His life,

He missed,

I took his life.

His rictus grin

Was not my first

Or my last.

Now

I sit

And write

Comedy!
