I keep him on his iron toes

I keep that magnetic heart beating.

 

I watch him

from a distance

the paper's favourite,

the playboy millionaire.

 

It's Bethany he takes to bed.

It's Bethany who plays with

his weapons of mass destruction.

 

I watch him

sink the demon in a bottle.

 

In the morning

I see him

the Long Island boy

sipping his Long Island ice tea.

 

Bethany flutters in,

draped in his shirt,

morning hair.

She steals a kiss,

then flutters by again.

 

I watch,

I stomp

off to the lab.
