I have no idea how that decision gets made. The poem makes it, I guess, but I have no idea how. Repitition like that is one of the bigger mysteries. There are several facets which I swear are not my doing, not in any conscious way, even though writing is more conscious than most of the stuff I do. That repetition is one of those things.christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201537517464996231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377252801421681569.post-57604777340631342712009-06-07T14:17:25.546-07:002009-06-07T14:17:25.546-07:00There's something in the repetition of the lin...There's something in the repetition of the line, Gimme all you got, that nails this one.

Feel free to wander in and out.<br /><br />Karen, it is just the territory of 7-Eleven Land. Or any of that sort of store. They are close by and attract the neighborhood. And what is really sad, there is no possible way under normal operating conditions that there can be much of a take to be had from a robbery. It's a sucker's hit. The risk so far outweighs the reward that no self respecting criminal would ever touch the job. That means who you have robbing this sort of store are the very people you described as robbing your son. The half wounded. The true dregs of our system. The ones who have no chance.<br /><br />Or as in my case, you have those so crazy that they go on sprees, becaues you have to rob several a night to make a decent living. I don't recall knowing whether they got caught, but I do remember that they had hit more than one that night.christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201537517464996231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377252801421681569.post-73331696086496001462009-06-07T04:53:56.614-07:002009-06-07T04:53:56.614-07:00When my son was in college, he experienced a simil...When my son was in college, he experienced a similar robbery, only he was bound and gagged by a regular customer who flashed a gun and kept saying, "Now, promise you won't tell them who did this." Because he knew the guy was wigged out, he just did what he said until he left, then he unbound himself and called the police.
