Chocolates, beer, pâté, whiskey,
cookies, she watches them stuff it away
and the girl, already drunk, bright
red, insults her, threatens to sock
her in the face, old bag, they laugh,
they shout Thief! The security guards
come, grab her, the others laugh
harder, she exclaims Not me! It’s them!
The guards frisk, the girl
jumps on her, the guards hit
in the cops hit, there’s more roughing up
in the manager’s office, the guys threaten her, the girl
scratches her, she runs away, the manager follows her
shouting, Lady, you forgot your reward!
