Love In the Hallway

So I'm slithering along the hallway and all the lights are out I come upon Mom and Friend ignoring the man that shouts He bangs upon the door he begs, he implores we stiflle our laughter he hears, he begs more I'm certain I shouldn't be a witness to these events as a child nearly adult, I'm hard to convince Hell no, I'm not going back to bed I need to know why he's out of his head Mama and Friend can barely contain their fear and glee for this man's pain I am breathless, enthralled at "Their " power to rob a man of what he thinks of "His" power then Friend departs with Mr. Pain on his plane, so regal she soon calls to report he's illegal finally she returns to her kids, to us, her dogs I was skulking around when she told mom "Thank God".
