The Man He Killed

When I first read this poem I was not sure what was going on it seened like the two guys just meet and the one just shot him, but when I read it again it sounded more like they were at war and that they had ran into each other at a hotel and both went to go get liquor. they both shot at each other but only one had died. It sounds like to me that the one man or soldier was talking about how bad the war was and that he didn't want to be shooting anyone anymore. maybe he was feeling bad for killing people even though he was being shot at himself.
