cute shoplifter at Walmart

 
I spotted you several times
looking like Tyler Durden's girlfriend, Marla
stuffing panties and socks in your knock off Gucci purse
made in China

The security guards caught it too
they rewind the camera footage
aha moment, you did it!
thanking God it's a sexy urban chicka

You disappear, I followed from a distance
wondering if you're still single
or if you have a tinder profile
and can I ask you out for dinner?

You easily consented, if only to ditch me
security is scouring the store, talking to eachother
like special forces commandos
saying things like "perimeter secure!"

Later in the evening
In a grease spoon diner, somewhere other
we find lots in common
and you like my haircut

you hate the things I say
but love the way I look
the smell of my skin
hate my taste in books

you left me with the check
as you went to the ladies room
why do la femme fatale spies fill
my need for misadventures?

sleight of hand, iphone thief!
lulling me into a state of trust
you were too terrified of
like an artiste with a blank canvas
