It was a joke
he didn’t mean to lift his hand
he didn’t mean to bring it down
he didn’t mean to raise it a second time
he didn’t mean to commit a second crime.
He didn’t mean it.
But if everyone got pardoned
for the things they said and did without meaning,
everyone would hit
and no one would mean it.
Again, actions speak louder than words, and ironically, that is because you can't say them.
Trust the first fist,
not the apology that comes after when the deed is already done.
