and he said to me,
if you're gonna steal,
steal big.
Steal
a car,
rob
a bank,
hold up
a liquor store,
kidnap
a child
for a delicious ransom.
But
whatever you do, don't
steal
a wallet,
or a pack
of cigarettes.
Don't bother
with a watch,
or a TV,
or copper wire
hanging off
an old apartment like
old spaghetti,
because
regret
doesn't care
if it's a bagel
or a diamond.
It'll settle
into you
in the same
sinking way,
stinking like greed,
and it won't love you.
...
