Stealing

at a party tonight
i asked a photographer
if i was stealing by lifting
photos from flickr for my blog.
he said yes.
i added that i always posted the
link.
he said, yes, you are stealing.
i said i didn’t know how to
do it any other way, i don't see
how it is possible to pay,
he said i was stealing.
tonight i won’t post
a photo, i won't steal,
i will go to sleep in my bed
feeling like a thief.
it doesn’t feel very good.
