—I GUESS I’M STILL BITTER, BUT I FORGIVE BECAUSE I’VE BEEN FORGIVEN

 

 

Two Syllables and a Vowel

 

Don’t worry,

I’ll find an

appropriate apology

for every time

I wronged you.

If not, the whorls

will coach me,

or if not them,

then the wolves,

werewolves or the

earworms with

their honed pincers

ready to do damage.

You can doomscroll

all day while I

perform a thorough

investigation until it’s

reconfirmed that

one of us must always

be deemed culprit

while the other of us

must always win.
