13 | | Your casserole dish takes the longest: | ||
14 | | it has some baked-in crust from when you | ||
15 | | cooked chicken last night. Washing it | ||
16 | | allows me to think about this poem's title | ||
17 | | and the first few lines. Now that I've | ||
18 | | written them down, I've [forgotten the rest][]. | ||
19 | |||
20 | | While scraping at something with my finger- | ||
21 | | nail, I catch myself wondering again whether | ||
22 | | you'll thank me for washing your dishes. | ||
23 | | I realize that this would defeat the point | ||
24 | | of my gesture, that this has destroyed | ||
25 | | all good thoughts I've had about saying | ||
26 | |||
27 | | "I'm sorry." This, [this is the reason][] why | ||
28 | | I am always apologizing: because I never | ||
29 | | mean it, because there is always, in [some | ||
30 | | attic][attic], a thought roaming that says, insists: | ||
31 | |||
32 | | "I've done nothing wrong, and I deserve | ||
33 | | all I can take, and more than that." | ||
