Sorry I shit your pants.
You look pale
let me buy you a tan.
I want to pretend none of this happened.
I have two bus stops to teach myself string theory
with a grocery list and a golf pencil.
How to fold this moment as
mistakes fold in on me.
How to punish the person
who built the jail.
The people I thought
deserved an apology
don’t even remember me.
But still
with as much eye contact
I can muster
Sorry I shit your pants
going to moon walk out
and forget all this happened.
The what’s what
about what not
the whole ball of whoops.
