the difference
between where you and i live is
when we walk in town
during certain times of the year
i carry a gun and a flashlight
the big bucks have antlers and cranky dispositions
the bears are in their final feeding frenzy
before hibernation seizes them
school once closed
because of mountain lions on the playground
and a few stupid and antisocial residents
let their dogs run free
you could just call an uber
