purse
raze
a
woman
ran
to
catch
us
on
our
way
out
of
the
park
.
"
someone
just
stole
my
purse,"
she
said
. "
did
you
guys
see
anyone
with
a
green
bag
?"
we
didn't
.
she
ran
through
a
gap
in
the
side
of
the
gate
and
asked
two
other
people
the
same
question
.
far
away
on
the
path
i
saw
a
group
of
four
.
someone
was
carrying
a
bag
.
it
was
green
.
but
it
wasn't
a
purse.
it
was
more
the
sort
of
thing
you'd
shove
a
bunch
of
birthday
presents
into
to
keep
them
together
.
when
we
got
to
our
car
,
the
woman
was
standing
in
the
middle
of
the
road
.
her
purse
was
slung
around
her
shoulder
.
she
was
smiling
and
talking
to
a
married
couple
pushing
a
sleeping
baby
in
a
stroller.
the
only
thief
was
an
innocent
mistake
of
her
own
making
.
those
two
parked
their
stroller
next
to
hers
near
the
playground.
she
stashed
her
purse
in
it
thinking
the
child's
chair
on
wheels
belonged
to
her
.
they
took
it
with
them
without
knowing
it
was
there
.
her
son
stood
near
the
swings
,
guarded
by
a
friend
.
she
made
her
way
back
to
him
.
this
time
she
walked
.
