We’ve been planning it for weeks
When
Where
How
We already know the why
Secret friend
Smelly old friend
Exactly why
You’ve come to me again
Don’t we?
Earlier each day
Sneaking up like you do
Boo
I already knew it was you
Your act is getting old
Your hands uncomfortably cold
Clutching my throat
Squeezing harder
My face becoming darker
Though I must admit
I’m starting to like it
You know
The whole idea
The thing
(Cell phone rings)
Shoo
Go away
Put yourself in check
Let go of my neck
Pee-ew
Why don’t you shower
Or brush your teeth
Or comb your hair
You stink
Go back over there
(Phone still ringing)
Please
Sit down
Calm down
I’ll pour us another drink
No
Not yet
We still need to think
It
Through
(Phone to my ear)
“Hello?”
“Hi, baby, it’s me…”
(Smiling)
