I’m sorry I broke the kickstand
and the concession stand
and the bandstand.
I didn’t mean to cause so much harm.
All I sought to do
was be some help.

I hoped you’d appreciate my actions
and invite me to help some more
like some kind of social internship.
I hoped that my time
as your packhorse
might cement our relationship.

It did not work out as planned
obviously
and I’m sorry
and saddened
and seriously
Hope you’ll see it in your heart
to let me help again.
