Letters to My X-5

                                   A Thing or Two About Karma

When I stole away
a boy from your arms
I was a little girl:
pig tails, blue ribbons,
wide grin, clean dress.
I looked at your
envying eyes
and stuck
my sullied tongue
out at you.

You walked away.

Now someone else
has stolen
my candy man.
