many apologies

He sent me a message
I’d hate to be on the receiving end of
if it were true
but history has taught me
not to jump the gun
and reply with a “fuck you”

So instead I asked a simple “wtf?”
and found myself laughing
in relief at his profuse apologies
for the lack of clarification
over the kind of words that cut
to the bone
all in the name of art
