Thieves/Paris Riggle

You are a thief.
Thief of knowledge,
Creativity, and inspiration.
The mind -- a workspace where
Stolen parts are fashioned into
Frankenstein’s monster, bringing
Dusty ideas back
To life.
Recycled again
to make someone’s existence
Seem worthwhile.

Paris Riggle is a biomedical biology major who reads and writes far too much poetry for her own good. This poem was composed in the notes on her phone and the margins of her chemistry notes. When not busy with classes, Paris enjoys playing cello, making art, and spending time outside with her chickens in DePere, WI.
