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.

Next come the tools of the trade
The leather "just so" around the waist
