New Poem: I CONFESS (52 YEARS LATE)

 wherever you are now

 please accept this belated apology 

 for sending a very 70s greeting card

 with a couple walking along a sunny beach

 containing this inscription:

 someday

 some way

 somehow


 I wasn’t a good listener at 15

 didn’t read unspoken social cues

 until the age of 21


 wherever you are now

 please forgive me

 for being presumptuous 

 and making unintended changes 

 in your later views of me
