I hit your car with a Frisbee golf Frisbee (A note in prose and haiku)

(Adapted from a true story)


From 5 seconds before I threw it (when I was planning another throw altogether)

to 3 seconds before I threw it (when I noticed your car)

to .5 seconds before it threw it (when I planned on it going down the other side of the street.) 

until .5 seconds after throwing I watched it bear down on your car (and hoped it hit a window)

and then I saw the dent (near the black streak)

 

Forever indelibly impressed upon my conscious and conscience.

 

Tho' I am guilty

have no fig for forgiveness

Or apologies

 

Honorable thing?

No kvetching/obfuscation,

Make dent --------- disappear

 

Women get angry.

That is not something I wish.

Men? Forever - boys...
