Duel in the Desert

This high noon would be the last, for one man
In the desert plain, the wind kicked up dust clouds
Two opponents faced off, watching for movement
Eyes trained upon a flow, each ready to fight, proud
Violence in a wasteland, killing for the amusement
Nothing personal, no reason to be in a duel
But to ignore an offense, such as this one
Would mean that one had become a fool
