the woman in the long
coat
stuffing
cans
of cat food into her deep
pockets.
an octogenarian
thief.
she smiles and winks.
for my cat
she says.
i help her with last
can
on the shelf,
high above her reach.
one
more i tell her,
then hand
her from my basket
a fat
juicy peach.
here, i tell her,
no one is looking,
go ahead and eat.
