10 | Your casserole dish takes the longest: \ | ||
11 | it has some baked-in crust from when you \ | ||
12 | cooked chicken last night. Washing it \ | ||
13 | allows me to think about this poem's title \ | ||
14 | and the first few lines. Now that I've \ | ||
15 | written them down, I've forgotten the rest. | ||
16 | |||
17 | While sraping at something with my finger- \ | ||
18 | nail, I catch myself wondering again whether \ | ||
19 | you'll thank me for washing your dishes. \ | ||
20 | I realize that this would defeat the point \ | ||
21 | of my gesture, that this has destroyed \ | ||
22 | all good thoughts I've had about saying | ||
23 | |||
24 | "I'm sorry." This, this is the reason why \ | ||
25 | I am always apologizing: because I never \ | ||
26 | mean it, because there is always, in some \ | ||
27 | attic, a thought roaming that says, insists: \ | ||
28 | "I've done nothing wrong, and I deserve \ | ||
29 | all I can take, and more than that." | ||
