Washing it \ +allows me to think about this poem's title \ +and the first few lines.

This, this is the reason why \ +I am always apologizing: because I never \ +mean it, because there is always, in some \ +attic, a thought roaming that says, insists: \ +"I've done nothing wrong, and I deserve \ +all I can take, and more than that." -- cgit 1.4.1-21-gabe81
