Seven Kinds of Sorry

The next game

of one on one with Jake

is not what it used to be,

not half as rough

or wordless.

It’s got a new vocabulary

with seven kinds of sorry.

Jake says it every time

he knocks into me on the court

or grazes my leg

or if our chests bump

when we both jump

for the hoop,

him trying to score,

me trying to steal the ball,

or vice versa.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Sorry!

I wish he’d come up

with some other way to say

I didn’t mean

to touch you that way.

I wish he’d quit

saying it

at all.
