⌈ THIEF ⌋

would i be a thief,
if i've robbed my own eyes of its
faculty to see.

would i be a thief,
if i've robbed my own ears of its
secular sounds.

would i be a thief,
if i've robbed my own tongue of its
bland words.

would i be a thief,
if i've robbed my own self of this
shrewd, earthly touch.

would i be a thief,
if i've robbed my own heart of its
meager feelings.

if that's the case,
call me a thief,
'cause there's been a robbery.
