“So I shouldn’t contribute by telling them about my latest bowel movement?”

“How should I parcel out this… No!”

“And why not.  They showed interest by asking.  I was being honest.”

“Really people don’t care about your experience when they ask that.  They are just being polite”

“Evidently so, but I refuse to capitulate to your norms.  I was brought up to…”

Pickpocket (an acrostic poem)

Passerby contribute to my well being

It warms the cockles of my sooty heart

Catching wild wallets, harvesting random rings

Keeping the richest, releasing the too poor

People might think I’m a thief

Only they couldn’t be farther from the truth

Culling the slow and the dull from their possessions

Karma dictates I do my part for the universe

Entrusting me to mete out cosmic balance

To add to my bank balance
