NATANYA'S LIES 1975

A WOMAN RETURNS HOME AFTER ANIGHT IN LONDON WITH HER LOVER IN 1975

Natanya

waves goodbye,

Benny's gone

to his home

after their

overnight

stay in that

cheap London

hotel room.

She walks now

to her home.

Her husband

sitting there

in his own

green armchair

by the fire

thumbing through

a seed book.

He looks up

when she comes

in the room:

how was it?

He asks her

the concert?

She takes off

her black coat,

looks at him:

it was good,

she replies,

she its down

lights up a

cigarette,

looks at him.

How was your

female friend?

He inquires

good hotel?

It was good,

she replies,

and Tessa

was ok,

Natanya

coolly lies.

What was it

you saw there?

A ballet:

Nutcracker,

she tells him,

thinking of

Benny there

in the bed

next to her

having humped

her 5 times

in the night.

Had dinner?

Hubby says.

Yes we did,

she replies,

her mouth crammed

with her lies.
