Notes About The Poem

To a Criminal

Busted! 

Smile.
You're caught 
on camera
yet again!
Why? 
Why in the world
would you rob
a convenience store
at gunpoint,
only to return 
to that same store
a few hours later
without a ski-mask 
this time
still wearing 
the exact same clothes
simply to buy 
a pack of cigarettes
with the money 
you stole?
C'mon!
Really? 
Are you for real? 
Poetic Justice.
