He really liked her blind. He'd sneak up from behind

and run his finger down her spine - say `it's fine'

though headlines shouted FINAL!

Pigs would fly, cities turned to powder shrines.....

He'd keep her dark brown eyes in brine and she'd be happy -

swimming under water. Safe! Looking for some seaweed she could

bake and make a meal for two. A Tokyo stew. And though he knew

she'd never do it - he never told her. He'd never ever tell her....
