What this old thing?

I shoplifted this suit,
not lately,
maybe a couple of years ago.

I went into a Goodwill store
and saw it and thought
"Someday I'll need a suit,
if anyone ever wants to hear
me read, I'll need it."

So I shoplifted this suit,
from Goodwill.

I was broke and hungry,
on my way to shoplift
something to eat
at Kroger.

I somehow got distracted,
by the dream of having
something to say-
of being a writer,
a poet who reads
his words
to enamored crowds
and wins them forever over
with wit and charm,
and deep thoughts-

so I shoplifted this suit.
