The Night Phantom

Silence--
night had fallen
breath held
anticipation....

I checked my watch
once more--
"Go" time

Knife out--
I inserted the tip
into the lock

Click!

"Ssshhhh..."
I was in.

(so much to do, so little time)

Must hurry--
Excitement welling fast
There they are...

let the slashing, commence

I removed the protective cap
from the fine tip
and began

I did them all
Cutting marks
and lines
through each..

"Why?"
The prosecution will ask me, later.

"Because the prices were too fuckin' high!"
(I'll answer)
"So I slashed them
and wrote my own , with the Sharpie!"

I am the Night Phantom,
The Price Slasher,
discounting all I see,
sticking it to The Man

Tonight, Nordstroms,
tomorrow,  Abercrombie......

Such beautiful work...
