Ope! Sorry (quickly)
I’m sorry that I had to ask you
what button to push in the elevator.
Ahh, sorry… (awkwardly)
I’m sorry that I decided to spread my
cream cheese at the same time as you.
My bad! Sorry… (uncomfortably)
I’m sorry that I held open the door
while you were still too far away.
Sorry… (quietly)
I’m sorry that we were both walking
in the same line of path.
Oh, crap! Sorry… (guiltily)
I’m sorry that I forgot to text you
when I got home safely.
Ugh, sorry… (sadly)
I’m sorry that I just keep saying
sorry to this stranger I don’t know.
I’m sorry for being sorry… (contradictory)
But I’m also sorry for thinking I’m not.
