identity theft

someone steals your identity.
you've been careless online
with your browsing and lack
of a complicated password
to keep the predators out.
when you bought
a heating pad for your leg
on craigslist last week, that
may have been the little door
they crawled through.
and now they, or he
or she, or perhaps a very
smart dog with flexible
paws has become you.
angry at first you breathe
out and in, letting it go.
your extensive yoga training
has prepared you for this
very day. through bills
in the mail you follow
the path of the new you.
it is one of travel and fun.
luxuries abound.
a new car, a rolex. a fur
coat. you see the restaurants
that they are dining at.
new york, south beach.
london and rome. you
are envious of the new
you. you wish that you too
were doing all the things
that they were doing.
it makes you sad to think
how you have wasted
your life by not having fun
like they are.
