gemstones

I remember the first time I ever stole something. I was in the 2nd grade. Damn show and tell. A kid brought a citrine gemstone to school. I don’t think I paid much attention to the kid or all of his babbling, you know the “telling” part of show and tell. All I remember is being hypnotized by the pretty sparkly shiny cluster of temptation. I was going to have it. My precious. I can’t remember how I even stole it. I can’t remember if I waited until all the kids were gone or if I did it in the midst of a crowd. Something tells me I was brazen enough – even back then to commit the crime in broad fluorescent school light…
