the stolen apple

to steal an apple
is a sin,
a small sin, especially if one
is hungry,
one easily forgiven
and forgotten.
but what about a thought
a phrase,
an idea snatched
from someone else's
book, or mouth,
or page.
is that too forgiven?
i hope so, because if not
i'm going to hell
on a speed pass.
