most important mea culpa

maybe I could
be your store greeter.
smile and stare through

you. maybe I could
be the person who sends
positive soundwaves into

your skull. maybe that
would balance the scales
of goodness and we'd both

see heaven. maybe those
gates open and the sales
are finally worth it for

you and me. maybe then
we'll be saved from whatever
life has made of us. for

us. maybe I was born for that.
meanwhile, I just burned breakfast. again.
maybe, I'm sorry for that too.
