the alibi killer

Anybody who wanted to
could have had themselves an alibi
for whatever it is they wanted to do
just by saying, confessing their willingness
to be alone with me, for a specified stretch
of time. I'm willing to trade
some honesty

just to have them swear up and down
and rely on my company.

And if that's a crime?
Let's get together, work details out

So everyone knows it was neither yours
nor mine. Return

to the scene of reasonable doubt
it can't hurt to know
what they won't find now.

I'll bring the weapon, if you
bring the wine.

Between us,
we're innocent
somehow
