1)
I scratched your disc jockey
and left a note saying I was sorry.
Forgive me for your taste in music—
it sounded a little dreary anyway.
2)
Last night, while driving your car,
I fell off a cliff!
There was considerable damage,
but I am still alive.
Thank you for letting me use it.
3)
The hearth needed more wood
and I could not find any.
So I burned your favourite book
sitting on the table.
Forgive me—
I did not care for Dostoyevsky.
4)
I have eaten
the strawberries on the countertop
which you were probably
saving for your morning smoothie.
Forgive me—
They were delicious,
and perfectly fresh.

A little parody and post-modernism never hurt anyone—
or so I tell myself.
