[I was stolen by gypsies.] Lyrics by Charles Simic

The World Doesn’t End

1990

I was Stolen by the gypsies. My parents stole me right back. Then the Gypsies stole me again. This went on for some time. One minute I was in the caravan suckling the dark teat of my new mother, the next I sat at the long dining room table eating my breakfast with a silver spoon.
     It was the first day of spring. One of my fathers was singing in the bathtub; the other one was painting a live sparrow the colors of a tropical bird.
