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