Sorry Remains Out of Reach – Written Wednesday 1st August 2007 (Aged 32)

Sorry Remains Out of Reach

again,
sorry remains out of reach
on a shelf
or on a ledge
somewhere out of sight

again,
you are found wanting
the layer of stone
has been your own personal geology
and it has left you alone

again,
i am to blame
and in that, there is nothing new
there are a lot of us like that
we form an orderly queue

again,
sorry becomes a dirty word
empathy lost to a storm in tea cup
your feelings absurd
and really, we’ve had too much




James Garratt – Wednesday 1st August 2007
