All was silent in my room when I returned<\/p>\n
\n
I had been shoplifting again<\/p>\n
\n
Which is an art<\/p>\n
\n
And I am Michelangelo<\/p>\n
\n
I only steal high grade goods<\/p>\n
\n
A handbag here a dress there<\/p>\n
\n
Underwear is so easy to steal<\/p>\n
\n
As long as you have a generous coat<\/p>\n
\n
\n
I look from my window at the neon streets<\/p>\n
\n
Which are beginning to empty as the night draws near<\/p>\n
In an hour only the beggars will remain in place<\/p>\n
\n
The apartment where I live is also stolen<\/p>\n
\n
I am living under a false name<\/p>\n
\n
Julie Galtier is alive and well<\/p>\n
\n
Although she drowned in the Amazon last year<\/p>\n
\n
I answer all her correspondence<\/p>\n
\n
And when we receive visitors I am Pauline her very close friend<\/p>\n
\n
Julie is out of the country and will return soon is my usual lie<\/p>\n
\n
\n
Even great artists make mistakes<\/p>\n
\n
But they are usually hidden well<\/p>\n
\n
I suppose that I have been lucky<\/p>\n
\n
But then again I resemble Julie<\/p>\n
\n
We could have been sisters or so people used to day<\/p>\n
And for the present that is good enough for me<\/p>\n
\n
When the bridge tightens then I will move on<\/p>\n
\n
And like a cuckoo will nest in another city<\/p>\n
\n
Where I will dream of my thieving friend<\/p>\n
\n
