Inspired by 'An Apology'

Inspired by 'An Apology'
by Anita. B

forgive me
for overtaking
and grazing
your red scooty

it was raining
and you were
at the blind spot of
my green scratched esteem

I am also sorry
about that guy
at the adyar signal

"An Apology"
Forgive me
for backing over
and smashing your red wheelbarrow.

It was raining
and the rear wiper
does not work on
my new plum-colored SUV.

I am also sorry
about the white
chickens.

-- F. J. Bergmann

The Red Wheelbarrow

so much depends
upon
a red wheelbarrow

glazed with rain
water

beside the white
chickens.

-- William Carlos Williams
