APOLOGY
I'm sorry that I missed your bash.
I truly meant to come.
First the bus did not arrive,
so I stuck out my thumb
and stood beside the road all day
in hopes that car or truck
would kindly offer me a lift.
It turns out, no such luck.
I went back home and grabbed my bike.
Alas, the chain was busted.
My car was in the body shop.
My motorcycle? Rusted.
I really meant it when I said
I'd come, when we last talked,
and since you live next door to me,
I guess I should have walked.
