To My Mugger

Muggers: Typically not pretty, typically not young. At least in my case. 

To My Mugger

What's your story? 
Where are you from? 
What led you to target me that fateful 15th of August, broad daylight: Careful calculation? Desperation? 
Or pure struck-with-lightening randomness, I in the wrong place at the wrong time? 
Where were you headed as you sped away in that maroon sedan? 
Why nothing more? 
With whom will you share your new wealth? 
What will your mother think? 
Who will kiss your lost face tonight: children, brother, friend? 
And when, oh when will it end?
