I used to break into houses
Empty ones, ones being built
where they thought an unglazed door
could keep people out.
I wandered through your bedroom
masturbated where your bathroom would be
wrote my name in tiny letters
on the edge of floorboards not nailed down
and stole a piece of copper pipe
to make a ball bearing cannon
using gunpowder and matchtip sulphur
from last years leftover fireworks.
