Sorry they say
as the lift doors open.
Sorry they say
as they pass in the street.
Sorry they say
when they have spoken.
Sorry they say
when their gazes meet.
Sorry they say
quite automatically,
so spontaneously,
when they drink tea,
even when they breath.
Soon they’ll say
sorry as they greet.
Everybody is sorry
in the 21st century,
everybody is sorry
it would seem.
