Icy daggers pierce my heart
While I bathe in the cold light of her death stare
Her shrill complaints freeze my soul
And my testicles
Whoosh! Whoosh! Swish!
I duck and weave to avoid the mug, the cordless phone, and the letter opener
Tick-Toc, Tick-Toc, Thwack!
I catch a small, heavy clock
With my forehead
What time is it?
Why time to cauterize the wound, of course!
But what’s this?
My love holds in her supple hands a two by four
Not the face! Not the face!
Okay, the face it is.
I can’t believe I forgot her birthday
Again
