Things She Said to Him
‘You take the good with the bad.’
‘You’re a good person and a wicked artist.’
‘You’re very sensitive.’
‘I find you intriguing.’
‘You’re a strong person.’
‘I like your penis.’
‘You’re not too crusty for an old guy.’
‘You’re funny.’
‘You’re one sexy mother.’
‘You make my day.’
‘My kids like you.’
All these thoughts
crossed his mind
as she came screaming
towards him with
a butcher knife.
