What Did I Say?


You asked several times what I said
and words came out, flowed from my mouth,
bypassing the brain. Hurtful words, I guess.
You took offense... or did you pretend?
Did you hear just fine and feign offense
so I'd be wrong or at least believe you thought
me wrong? How much is an act, a farce,
your not wanting to be involved and hanging it
on me? I didn't feel hateful, spoke innocently,
felt no malice. But maybe it's time for amends.
What did I do? How can I make amends
beyond a generalized mea culpa? 
I guess the time has come for living amends
when I can't even remember what I said.
Anyway, tomorrow will be better.
