The lamp light glows fro behind her blinds
I am frozen from my waste to my toes
I think she knows
I am crippled with fear in her peripheral scorn
I can see her hand has reached for the telephone
I think she knows
All the things I have done
Last night
I got into a fight
I was kicked out the pub
Staggering home singing The Minotaur’s Song
I walked into a wall
And I fell to the floor
I think she knows
All the things I have done
She will use against me for her own fun
Curtain twitcher
She is a nosey neighbour
I broke into her home
And I strangled her to death with the cord from her phone
