I made this skirt from
Pierre Cardin's spring collection
Where a thief stole a pound, and I paid a nickle.
I made this shirt from
A pretty curtain
That I ripped out of a groovy bungalow
I made this bracelet from
Beads drifting down river Arakawa
A child's beads, probably thrown in a tantrum.
I made this pendant from
A glass marble from a goldfish bowl
In the small classroom of an elementary school
I found my socks in a dumpster.
I found my shoes in a runaway train.
I found my coat on the shoulders of a model.
And so I plead not guilty.

I once dreamed of a Kleptomaniac making excuses to a Jury and their Judge. I listed those excuses in poetic form.
