Some things are unavengeable.
Almost nothing is unforgivable, except
crunchy peanut butter, in
my Butter’s kong,
A tongue’s paper cut,
Not telling your partner first,
and at times,
saying an omission’s not a lie.
Gossip murders the target,
never the gossip.
“Unless you sign it,
I will toss everything you own,
and you will never talk to
your loves,” she said.
Oh, Dad. No, not true:
I will never stop loving you
enough to argue every eye and tee:
Just teach me kindness.
