When one is always suspicious it can cause numeorus problems.

November PAD Challenge Day 19- Suspicious Minds poem.

If I were interviewed by the cops like in one of those crime shows I watch all the time I’d want to be gardening. Or maybe in an office setting. I used to watch CSI but I watch a lot of Law and Order now, my favorites are SVU with Stabler and Olivia, and Criminal Intent but ONLY the episodes that have Vincent D’onofrio because… I love that guy. Anyway, so let’s say I’m being interviewed about a suspect – I don’t know what the crime is; just a suspicious character. I’d open with something dramatic like "That boy has a piece of the devil in his heart." Come to think of it – maybe this should take place in a kitchen setting, drinking coffee. No… hot tea, that seems better. Anyway – the interview would go something like this.

Prose.

See how walking betrays our identity.

Suspicious minds corrupt things.

In some situations you are damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

Sometimes you just cannot win.

Maung Ba kept reflecting on the past, thinking of the land and paddyfield that had once sustained them all so well.

A poem about being grateful when good things come your way, rather than thinking that there is some hidden agenda or dire cosmic motive.
