Livi

I didn’t see it;
I swear I didn’t.
I was just driving down the road,
And this thing streaked in front of me.
I didn’t have a chance to brake.

It had a collar,
So I came to apologize—

For killing your cat.

Oh, little boy, please don’t cry.
Don’t look at me with those big eyes.
I didn’t see it!
I didn’t, I didn’t, I couldn’t brake,
Please stop crying.

Is that your brother?
Oh.
My.
Hello, George.

I . . . I hit your brother’s cat.
I’m sorry.

How—
How’s your girlfriend?

I—
I have to go.

I’m sorry.
I didn’t see it.
I really, really didn’t.
