im sorry you had to say it twice
for me to hear
im sorry i scared you
i didn’t mean to
but these words shutter out of my mouth like bullets
no safety on the gun
the no gun’s sign at the entrance?
yeah, that, uh…
it’s written in a language i can’t understand
i can’t learn it either
i tried
i can mimic the sounds,
string them together
perfect imitation
but the meaning is lost
and anyways
you’d have to tell me twice
im sorry
