ARCADIA MOLINAS

Things I Have Stolen

An avocado
A discounted chicken club sandwich
25 toilet rolls from work
50 cigarettes from 50 hotties at the club
Boxers from the shittiest ex I’ve ever had
The hairstyle of a cute girl I saw once at a cafe
3 tote bags from 3 different lovers
Ideas from books, films, songs and strangers
A little more life by dancing in the dark
Hope from mopes who only wanted me naked
Happiness from sunlight hitting my toes
A couple of bus fares here and there
Blades of grass from unsuspecting prairies
A friend’s ex-boyfriend two times too many
My time back from data and tech
And as much as I can get away with
stuff under my shirt fit in the fucking void.
