He promised her a planet and he’d planned it.
He told her how he’d fly to heaven with
Just a gesture and a lie. they’d idolise
Those idol eyes. They’d be pelting him with
Palm leaves. Believe!

His chin (he hadn’t shaved). She said
«Sure, honey — it’ll be OK!» God’s in his
Cupboard — all’s right with His girl
