Tip of My Tongue

in my country
where it is customary
to shoot first
and ask questions
later
that brotha
shot first
so later
after tending superficial wounds
injuries sustained while being grazed
by one tragically overused
hey baby
let me holla at you a minute
I wanted to know
did I say my name
was baby
and if you must shoot
must you use
antiquated lines
as your
ammunition
