Off To Work

The police entered the house
And saw the chaos in the room
A few minutes later
They asked if I needed medical attention  
And inquired what happened
After denying medical treatment  
I made up some lies
About the destruction
Damn neighbors  
Must have called 911
And complained about the noise
At least my cuts weren't as bad as I thought  
Nothing some band aids won't fix
Everything's ok now
They left and I got cleaned up
It's time to go
Off to work
I'm prepared for the questions  
My coworkers will ask  
About the cuts on my eyes  
And why I have bandaids on 6 of my fingertips
I already see the looks
I know what they are thinking
Even though they won't say it
But I will cover for myself
With a story
A fantastical story
To simmer the rumors
They will think they know the truth
But only I know what really happened
I have such a mess to clean up
When I get back home
That fit of rage
I need to keep him in check next time
That episode can't happen again
