Standing at the edge

Rust and green of the bridges reflecting

Toying with the depths

The water's blue looks a little too distant

Thinks of the pistol instead

Eyes it over and breathes in the salt air

Barrel to his head

Pulls the trigger and everything quiets

The card cheat stands

Looming over the dealer still bleeding

Switchblade in hand

Aims to cut out his winnings

It’s a liar's prize

A falsehood for the bastard to brag on
