House Thief
It wasn't until he anthropomorphized that vast abstraction,
Envisioned it as a common house thief
Wearing a sheath of invisibility,
Stealing him blind, in his sleep,
Removing his every possession,
The entirety of his earthly estate,
Under cover of his restive doggy-dream snoring,
Leaving him with nothing more than his flesh and bones,
Nothing less than destitution's less than nothing,
Penury to the nth power...
It wasn't until that humanizing then
That he would see time for just what it was:
A bald-faced, shameless, rapacious, heinous perpetrator
Of crimes against mankind.
