I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

I had the drop on him. Leveled my gun for a center-mass shot. He raised his hands, keeping in his kneeling position. The 9mm felt cool and firm, like taking an old love to bed.

I grinned. "You had to wear the red shirt today, eh McGee?" I said.

He smiled back, stood straight and lowered his hands. "Well actually, wearing a gold shir…"

I couldn't hear his statistic over the barking of the gun.
