what if i fed them?
sirens drawing nearer - run;
they really mean it!
Letter to a friend
You must understand;
it isn't an objection
I have to you,
to the words-
the concept isn't an
awkward one-
certainly not some
uncivilized demand!
But isn't easy,
this delicate dance
of wordplay-
"I'm sorry" is simply,
utterly, truly
impossible to say.
A mistake is one thing-
everyone makes those!
Still, why should we
bring up such awful
sorrows and woes!
Oh, of course,
you were right-
there's no debating that
away - but if I were wrong,
what good would it do
to say sorry anyway?
