Ross and John do a robbery

I once stole a bicycle
but it turned out it belonged to somone
whose bicycle made them unhappy.
All day they'd cycle to a job they didn't like,
a manager who typed in capslock,
a colleague who ate the apple cores
and on the way back they'd ride one handed
eating multipacks of crisps and when their bicycle
wasn't there that morning, the morning
after I'd been drunk and stolen it
because I lived so far from the party and it turned out
it wasn't ok for me to stay there, they looked
at the wall where it is usually propped up
and didn't even phone in to say they wouldn't
be coming in anymore, sometimes you don't need to
and the bike has now served its purpose I don't even know
where I abandoned it there is an awkward moment
when you've drunkenly stolen a bicycle when you realise
you have stolen a bicycle but it was found by someone
desperate for any kind of transport to attend
a life saving moment, what a relief for everyone,
what an absolute relief.
