The Tape

One morning you turned on the TV -
There was a video you wanted me to watch.
I couldn't remember the previous night,
Let alone the video camera
Recording my every move -
And so I watched. You made me watch,
Even when it got to the point where I hit you,
Smacked you in the mouth,
And I'd have given anything for you to stop it then '
But you made me watch it to the end,
Every single second,
Until, struck-dumb, I saw my stunt-double
Grinning and laughing as he pissed on the bed
And falling made another swing for you but missed '

And that's where it stopped, the screen switched
To black - and I lay in bed wishing
That my stunt-double would come back.
