Daylight Robbery
by Marc Carver
I went to the shop for my wine
I forgot my mask so I put the scarf around my face
 the young girl looked at me like she wanted a masked man for some love.
 I thought about telling the young man behind the counter
that the last time I was dressed like this
I got three to five
but I know it would have been wasted on him.
