surprised when i saw her mug shot

she was one of those
take
your shoes
off before you come into the house
kind of people.
well mannered,
well
educated, with good morals,
and values.
a good citizen
to boot.
not once did i ever see
spinach between her teeth.
she voted whenever there was
an election
to be had.
she exercised
and ate well. a vegetarian,
i suppose.
she had two cats,
and one
dog.
she went to church.
she danced and sang in the choir.
so it surprised me
when i saw in the paper
that she robbed
a liquor store
and was involved in a high
speed chase
down the boulevard.
