Free Entry 2, Week 1

When criminals move, what are their criteria?
Does crime matter to people who themselves execute
modes of murderous, rebellious, unnatural law?
The typical person wouldn't relocate willingly
to a place like Detroit, or Los Angeles, or Chicago
would they? Or would they?
What if I were a criminal, say, a bank robber?
Say I have committed unspeakable crimes against tellers,
ATMs, the people who so innocently wanted to deposit a check.
Would it matter to me, then, if I were to use that stolen
money to move someplace grander, the level of crime?
I suppose it would.
I would want quiet suburbia, all the more unsuspecting
for me to continue my life of crime in an otherwise calm setting.
