Sorry

A woman ordering a blueberry muffin
The server doesn’t hear her
Such is the smallness of her voice
So she apologises
Apologises for her existence
Her mistake
Like it is a true error
When it isn’t
How many times a day
Do I hear this
Sorry
Excuse me
Oh sorry
Thankyou thankyou thankyou
So much!
For what?
A cake?
It’s not a kidney donation
These words
Litter the air around us
It is so hard to stop doing
But we have to stop eschewing
And be more blunt
Courteous and polite
Perfunctory
Like a man
This is how they do it
Yes thanks that one
Here you go ta
See ya mate
How hard was that
Just say it once
Please
Just say it once
Thanks
Don’t overload the sweet
I wish I could hug you
Fill you up
With the love that you seem to be missing
You have a right to be here
We all do
Take a breath
Enlarge your lungs
Your heart
Your voice
Your choice
Your daughter is watching
Show her she is entitled to her existence
You’ve got to admit I’ve got a point
Thanks for listening
Ta
❤️
