Sorry, Wrong, Good, Bad
Carl Hopkins, November 1999

Sorry?
Well,
Maybe.
Yes, a
Little.
No, a
Lot.
Yes, a lot.

Sorry?
Yes, a lot.
Definately.
Why?
Well......
There is a hint,
Just a hint,
I may have.....

Sorry?
I may have,
Well I
Possibly, no,
Probably, no,
Perhaps,
Yes, maybe,
No; sometimes
I did wrong.

Sorry?
I did wrong.
Yes, but just
A little,
Nothing really.
Once or twice
Maybe.
And I
Never hurt
You!

Sorry?
I never hurt you.
Well, probably
Not.
No; no pain
For you!
Well........ am I
Sure?
Maybe just
A little.

Sorry?
A little.
Yes, definately
A little.
Didn't mean
It.
But your
Pain was nothing,
Really.

Sorry?
Really, I am,
For that one
Little hurt.
Is that better?
Yes, much, And
I feel better
Saying
Sorry.

Sorry?
It was painless.
And a big
Relief.
My little guilt
Has gone.
Or has it?
Who is knocking?

Sorry?
Sorry?
Who is knocking
And keeping
Me awake.
Restless, with
My inner
Rolling thunder.
The Devil
Calms me.
I have done no
Wrong.

Wrong?
You have done no
Wrong,
The Devil said.
He's my old
Friend at times
Like these. A
Cheerful chap,
Slaps me on
My back.

Wrong?
My back hurts.
The Devil and my
Doubts dispute
My conscience.
They break my
Ribs and bruise
My soul.
Conscience whispers,
The Devil yells.

Wrong?
No; the Devil yells,
No, no, no.
So there. Its over.
Sssh, can you
Hear the Truth?
No; truth is as
Silent as the
Moonbeams.
Black bats
Play!

Wrong?
Black bats
Play in my
Thoughts.
Each one
With poison
On its breath.
Each one
A wrong
Of mine to
You

Wrong?
Of mine to
You. No;
Brush such
Doubts aside.
Well.....maybe
One doubt
Can stay.
Which one?
Well, maybe....

Wrong?
Well maybe.......
I just can't
Think.
Well, did I do good?
Yes, all the
Time, and you to me.
You were so good.

Good?
Yes, we both
Were good.
Well....almost always.
If not always!
And we laughed
In many
Places
And beds.

Good?
Good?
And silent
Bed springs
Still recall
Your cries.
And my
Thrashing
Happiness.

Good?
You gave
Me happiness
When Hell
Had me
In chains.
Good you were,
And are.
Too good?

Good?
Too good......for me?
A lady with
Serious qualities,
Permit me to say,
With a figure
Made in
Venus's shell.

Good?
Venus is
Out equalled
With your grace.
Excuse me
If I may say so,
Your bottom
Excells hers with
Its smooth and
Comely sighs.

Good?
Yes, your
Soft curves
Are good
So good
To touch
To tickle
To lick
To watch.
Good?
To watch
My curves?
A hopeless case.
No good at all.
My calves,
I think
You liked.
May be not!

Good?
Not God
Or good.
I am
A hopeless case.
All wrong.
All? Well
Not quite.
Mostly.....mostly
Bad.

Bad?
No.
Definately not.
Won't have it.
Never....well,
Well almost never!
I will have to think......
