The Thief

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Time is a thief
and memory is
the gang leader

Territorial disputes
between
yesterday and yesteryear
are settled 
by the heart

    The disputes may be settled by the heart but the head
    might disagree—depending on sibling rivalry.
