If I have one regret today
it’s not hoarding more
of the generic gifts I got
for other people
for myself at the end of the day.
It was really poor planning.

If I have two regrets today
it’s not producing more generic gifts
for a larger pool of the gifted
so I could partake further in the joy of giving
and lift some at the end of the day
to also partake somewhat in the joy of taking.
That would have been better planning indeed.

If I have three regrets tonight,
I would probably have to say
that I wish I could have spoken truth to you
and you would have known how I really felt
and I could have understood likewise
and wisdom would have become ours
and thus peace
and thus contentment
– and also that my thievery wasn’t up to snuff.
