the taper caper
lost its luster,
at guttering
–of candle cluster
lacking light, the vagabonds
–could not with
the ‘bra
abscond. . .
ensuing darkness
lit-i-gating,
criminals
addressed abating,
of needed light to clinch the crime
–resulting in a hefty fine
since thieves are never
compensated,
for crime or time
and all related
–debts incurred while planning heist
especially
the theft of lights.
