Moments MAG
January 12, 2010
A writer is a thief
He lays out his bait
In Helvetica and 12 point font
And arranges it in pretty patterns
And waits
And people come along
And stop to look, and leave
Their lives behind, for a bit
Their precious seconds, so finite
Slipping away into his steamer trunk
Their moments made his.
