do you swear to tell the truth?

i used to keep
a Bible
by the front door
and made
her place her hand
on it
when i questioned her
about
where she was
that night.
for the most part she'd
plead the fifth
which would end
the interrogation.
then the lie detector test,
which i got as a wedding gift.
of course
she'd pass that with flying
colors. no surprise there.
narcissists
and psychopaths
are the best at that.
the graph showed
not a single blip.
