You Say, “I’m Sorry for Everything”
How am I supposed to know —
What I need
Is for you to state
What happened
That you understand how hurtful
Were your actions
Clean up this dirty room
Your generalities
Fly out the window
Like a bunch of crows
So go your way
I’ve told you how to lighten your burden
I can do no more for you

Choices
I raise three fingers
Like fat sausages
And I count
Letting my breath in and out
One
Two
Three
Three are missing
Hiding as in a child’s game
Have not been created
Nor have we made love
In as long as I remember
And yet today is number four
Best when choices are limited
Too many choices confuse
Like the swan
That chooses a duck for a partner
I choose poetry
