Walmart Heist

I know this is awkward
Big Walmart lot, busy.
No one will notice.
You with groceries
Half into the trunk.
Tell your Girl to stop crying.
It’s weak and pathetic.
(Seven inch knife gleaming.
Fake lunging movement.)

I know this is costly
You’re not made of money.
Empty your wallet
NOW, woman.
I have paid also big time.
(Holds up left hand with
Three fingers gone.)
Damn Company.
Damn table saw.
Stupid phoney caseworker.

I know it is wrong
Doing this all over Town.
In a blitz.
Cops too slow to react yet
Or anticipate.
Took the bus to
Get to this crappy place.
Don’t know where next.
Don’t care.
But some heavy snows are coming.
