Did I say sorry?(edit)

[brynmawr1]

It was an accident,
this poem.
Avoidably conceived
through lack
of proper protection
from stray thoughts,
meant only to be
a distraction,
a procrastination.

But here it is, now
a mess all over
the page. Small words
without meaning
unable to pierce
or even bruise.
If only some mercy
found in its execution

might have saved you
from the collateral
damage of wondering
what it could have been.

And now the collateral
damage of having paid
the price; two minutes
thirty seconds of your life.
No refunds.
