Wise Monkey


from the ABC set Tit for Tat

He brought back my favourite perfume and a cd featuring 'our' song.
They were wrapped in silver paper and matched my wedding dress, the one
I tore up.I asked him why he did it. He said it was just one of those
things, they met at work and fell in love.

I said I meant the presents. The presents from his honeymoon. He said
he'd been thinking about me and hoped I could forgive him. He wondered
whether he'd made the right decision.

I offered to help him reconsider and suggested he lie on the bed. I
blinded him with 'Obsession' and cut out his tongue with 'Love
Hurts'.

Now, seeing and speaking no evil, he listens to me preaching and prays
for salvation. I tell him he is forgiven and his soul is redeemed, but
he feels the need.
