Treasure

So, this morning
I came out to find

my car had been rifled,
tossed, gone through

or whatever, sometime
during the night.

Nothing was taken
and the only real evidence

was my 5 CD collection
of The Carter Family 1924-1937

sitting on the front seat
instead of in the console.

So, I got in my car
and drove off happily,

like I always do,
into a world full of thieves

that don’t know treasure.
