I’m Sorry

I’m sorry

the sorriest thing in site

besides that

We apologize

I know our words are sweet

I know my words are razors

I know that not everything in here

is for you

it’s for me

for us

the many that call themselves I

all of us know the rules

they are what keeps us alive

all of us have a different view

of the Spirit

and the Letter

of the Law

if I say something that is not true

it is because it is true somewhere else

if I say something that hurts

it is because it soothes somewhere else

you see time as a line

we see time as a pool

don’t lie to me

everyone pees in the pool

even if just a little

now imagine my frustration

as you swim your lane

ignoring the piss-soaked wake

you leave behind

kick lighter

I’m trying as well

karma is the pool we all piss in

and the result of that eternal relationship
