apologizing at 90

i hear
the old man on the bench
talking to
his wife, or friend,
or maybe
she's both,
he's apologizing
for his behavior.
i can do better,
my dear,
he says,
last year i acted like
a fool,
i did so many things
that i regret.
you'll see. from now
on you'll
get the best of me.
i'm turning over
another new leaf.
