It’s my secret wife. How I know
I’m safe. [He scratches his zither.]
Before that we had a gun. But
it wouldn’t listen. Too scary for
words. Then he had a hip replace-
ment, having just arrived. His
sole purpose of seeing me.
Hide what’s easy (his
hide so easily spent). My,
what a gun! [He eats his
bullets.] I spend the
rest of the night
with the
plasma TV.
