Klepto Therapy
(a Poor Mojo Classic)

by Jonathan Hayes

[As August 2010 marks the close of our tenth year of weekly publication, we shall spend this month enjoying "the blast from the past" with selections from Poor Mojo's Almanac(k): Year Three (issues 101-150). Please, enjoy!—Your Giant Squid, Editor-in-Chief, PMjA]
[originally published in issue #143]

I stole
a hardboiled egg
from
the supermarket salad bar
today

when
I ate
that egg
I could
feel
my
self-esteem
going
up
