Yet More Copper Theft Poem by Diana van den Berg

Yet More Copper Theft



One would think
that I should
be used to this
by now...

but I could do
without it,
this third
copper theft
since February
and the umpteenth
theft
since 1983

especially as
I am told
that a geyser
requires
copper pipes,
not plastic,
so the copper pipe thieves
could be back
the day after
each time
I have it replaced
from now on
until infinity.
