HADN'T LIED 1975.
Who was she?
Netanya
asks Benny
who was whom?
Benny asks
sitting in
an armchair
that woman
who has just
dropped you off?
she works in
home and ware
at the store
Benny says
so why'd she
drive you home?
Netanya
enquires
moodily
I don't know
she just asked
if she could
Benny says
I bet she
fancies you
or much worse
I bet you've
been inside
her *******
Netanya says
don't be daft
she's pregnant
Benny says
is it yours?
is that why
she's friendly?
Netanya asks
are you mad?
we just work
together
at the store
Benny says
so you say
but you would
wouldn't you
Netanya says
steely faced
Benny stands
and walks off
into the
back garden
Netanya
follows him
Iām sorry
I should trust
what you say
she tells him
that's ok
he replies
he didn't
know the girl
who gave him
a lift home
a least not
in the sense
Netanya
had implied
so in that
sense Benny
hadn't lied.
