Confessions of a Troubled Youth
I stole a Cutlass Supreme when
I was sixteen, drove it to the coast,
torched it on the side of the highway.
I could feel the heat on my back
as I walked away, see the flames
as they rose higher into the night.
Why did I do it? You might ask.
Because no one asked me not to.

Did you roast marshmallows?
No. But that would have stunned the cops more by finding me there with my stick and a bag of marshmallows by my side and a sticky face, rather than finding what they did.
But, of course, this is merely fiction.
