A Cluttered Mind
3Gun sat slumped in the chair
His favourite spot under the stair
For a moment things were quiet
The town was off its action diet
He tilted back and closed his eyes
The dreams soon came - no surprise
They filled his head in a mashup mix
His subconscious playing crazy tricks
Card games and races
Train robberies and chases
Cocoa Pops and trips to Oh Aces
Tragic events the death of a friend
Funerals and weddings the dream wouldn't end
Gunfights and danger
News from Destiny even stranger
Explosions and church fires
Sombreros and liars
Railroad gangs and a boxing fight
Chasing Mexican bandits in to the night
Girls rescued from Tent City flats
Witches and an old lady with cats
Poisoned muffins, music and song
Crooked Mayor who didn't last long
New people arriving to farm the land
Entertainers and Drummers oh so grand
Weird images of places he'd never been
Automobiles and gangsters he'd never seen
Music jarred him awake with a sudden start
Old Peso had the player piano apart
CS was polishing glasses and wiping the bar
The nightmare he felt had gone too far
The images had come with no reason or rhyme
And he worried they'd appear at another time
He'd been Sheriff of BG for many a year
Not having that job was something to fear
He couldn't do it forever, that he did know
And when it did end, where would he go
The chair tilted back and he closed his eyes
The dreams returned without disguise
