the home invasion

my neighbor,
Jack,
had his home invaded
by a group
of masked
young women.
they tied
him up,
and took his silverware
and his
cash,
his phone, and all of
the rib eye steaks
in his fridge.
the brownies
that were frozen.
they stayed for over
an hour,
played his music
and danced,
drank until the wine
ran out.
they made a nice fire
in the fireplace
and moved
his chair
closer to keep him warm.
one girl
loosened the ropes
around his wrists,
then they left him,
unharmed.
they even locked
the door
behind them.
he seemed strangely happy for
the visit.
when i talked to him,
but sad now
to be alone.
