the thief believes
in stealing what isn't his.
the world owes him.
the dumb stranger who
leaves a purse
unattended or a car
running in the lot
is asking for trouble,
he is teaching them
to live differently,
to lock their windows,
their doors, to hide
their valuables in a place
where he can't find
them, so few they are.
in some ways he believes
he is doing good,
as he slips inside a room
to relieve these people
of the burdens
that keep them falsely
happy and warm.
