George's hand shook violently
to end the pain
that Lennie would have had
in an American court of law
or tied to a bed post
in a psychiatric institution
George used Slim's gun
that Lennie hadn't stolen
and said the gun
was Lennie's last feel
if life was real
but life's not real
when it's hand to mouth
it's really bad
really bad out
