This Is Just to Say
I have eaten
the soy ice cream
that was in
the ice box
and which
you expressly asked
me
not to touch
Forgive me
it was so gross
I threw half of
it away
This Is Just to Say
I have restarted
the PlayStation
that was in
your room
and which
you left on
because you
hadn’t found a save point
Forgive me
I skipped my job interview
and wanted
to play FIFA
This Is Just to Say
I have bounced
the check
that was for
the electric bill
and which
two weeks ago
I said
was covered
Forgive me
my mom didn’t send
that money order
she promised

This Is Just to Say
I have clogged
the sink
that is in
the kitchen
and which
you requested
I not use
to rinse my silkscreens
Forgive me
my band needed merch
and Bill’s wife
wouldn’t let us do it there
This Is Just to Say
I have given away
the key
that was under
the planter
and which
you said
my girlfriend
couldn’t have
Forgive me
her sister kicked her out
but she’s quiet
I swear
