The Sugar Curse



Someone in the neighborhood poured sugar around the perimeter of my property last night. At least I think it's sugar: it could be detergent, or cocaine, or rat poison. I didn't taste it. It's too gritty to be flour. The trail of sugar runs along the sidewalk, around the corner and down my alley, all public property. It's still there. The police say they can't do anything. Is it a curse? Or are the gypsies across the street trying to infest my home with ants?
