61 - The gun

Put your hands where I can see them. 
You are soaking, out of breath.
I can tell that you’ve been racing,
On gas, there’s nothing left.

Put them up, out of your pockets. 
Were you going for a gun? 
It’s so hard to see intention 
In someone always on the run. 

Is it fear? 
Anticipation? 
That has you quacking 
At the knees. 
I can see the desperation. 
What are you trying to appease? 

Say it loud, 
You’re speaking softly. 
All your answers, 
I can’t hear. 
If I just wanted explanation, 
Well I wouldn’t have come here. 

Put your back against the mortar. 
I don’t trust you not to run. 
If someone does the shooting, 
It’s my finger on the gun. 

Can’t you tell? 
I’ve finally won.
