tar and theft

I stole another line from you

you absolved me of the first theft

said it wasn't stealing

but I shouldn't make a habit out of this

I need words of my own

only my thoughts are covered in tar

like yours lately

I try to draw a picture with words

but using the same crayon

can only go so far

so when you give me another color

unknowingly

the tar gets less sticky

the picture more vivid

words rearrange into lines

lines fall into place

I just might keep stealing

just a little
