racoons, the thieves
come out
at night to try doors,
to break
into cars
and rummage through
sheds.
you can see them carrying
things away.
they have
gloves
and hoodies on.
the doorbell ring
cameras
mean nothing to them.
tomorrow
their pictures,
blurred and dark will
be posted
on the neighborhood
watch
but the beat will go
on as
the cops stop by
to shrug
and wish you luck.
