Stairwell Sniper

by Nicole D Gregory

There's no way
I'm harvesting
my savings
to pay for things

So I stole a watch
on my way to the police station
figuring I might as well
know the time
if I'm gonna do the crime

And I put myself in
solitary confinement
in my stairwell
stuck
halfway between
not there yet
and
never quite finished

When in actuality
it is pointed out
to me
it could quite possibly be
I like being lazy

Hah! We don't harvest savings -we harvest organs!!!! *evil grin* I love this of course, and the conversation that prompted bits of it also gets very high ratings!
