Rickey Paul Miller Poems
A place just any place.
A time just any time.
What place and time just doesn't matter.
A shot in the night, where is the damn back-up!
...
1. If you think that the shot you fire won't mess with your head. Try it and see. 11-21-87.
2. Never have eaten my gun, but, I have gnawed on it a couple of times. 7-19-87.
3. It's not how good you are with a paper target. It's how good you are when the lead is coming your way. 10-30-87.
4. Having diligently studied the situation for thirty-four years, I have unbiasedly come to the final conclusion that it is the rest of the world that is crazy, not me.
...
He rises in the early morning hours
First the shirt, then the pants and boots
Next come the tools of the trade
The leather "just so" around the waist

The Best Poem Of Rickey Paul Miller
A Shot In The Night
A place just any place.
A time just any time.
What place and time just doesn't matter.
A shot in the night, where is the damn back-up!
Too long, just took them to damn long.
"4 to PD., 4 to PD!
"P.D. to cars received report of shooting on the block."
"4 to P.D. I need the ambulance. I'm already here.
I need back-up."
Where's the damn back-up?
"Damn man, why didn't you throw the
gun down, why?"
Gun got to find the gun, found it, got to
hold onto it.
Where the Hell is the back-up?
Just any place.
Just any time.
A shot in the night.
