they could start over again —
debts cancelled, unfortunate words
retracted, sideways first impressions
wiped away
They had the feeling
if they could only be seen
in their true light,
they would be understood,
if they were given a chance,
they could convey their true regard
Let us then consider:
Others have wished this
as much as we have.
Let’s give them a chance
to start over.
