she is so drunk
that she cant’t work her own phone
but somehow can work mine
so she texts her husband from my phone
sending messages back and forth
asking him to come and pick her up

she promises him sex
he says ‘I’ll come straight away’
and does but the next day
she tells me he never got the sex
she was too drunk and when
she got home she fell asleep
