A poem to pass the time.

I found this poem in one of the books I had to get for my English class and I really enjoyed it so i thought I'd share it.

"Spite"
by Stephen Dobyns

I steal your mailbox, leave
gum on your sidewalk. I
seduce your sister, ignore your wife.
I tear one page from each of your books.
I convince you that I am your friend.

*
When people ask about you,
I shake my head. When they
tell about you, I nod.

*
Today, I hang myself
from a greased flagpole
outside your picture window.
Yesterday, I stole your curtains.
