"I'm sorry that you think I've let you down.
I do my best, you know, and do want to.”
But you're not sorry that you really did.
I"I am. I said so.”
No, you did not, Sir.
You said you're sorry that I think you did.
"It is the same thing.”
Very far from it.
What I hoped for's believable sorrow,
an apology that is unambiguous,
for the damage that you had caused to me.
Ah, no response; a fabricated face.
You might have made a more adequate reply.
Perhaps you maintain you are not lying
if you seem to say what you are not saying.
Let me reaffirm that it is a lie
if you mislead someone.
"Spare me sermons.”
You try to be an automaton, my son.
"If you wish, you old fool; but just fuck off.”
