Apologies

My apologies for believing Serendipity to be set in Stone.
Apologies to the Stone for objectifying it.

My apologies for Big answers to Small questions.
Apologies to all questions for quantifying them.

My apologies to everything for I am not everywhere.
Apologies to everybody for I am not every one.

My apologies to a Self I cannot meet.
Apologies to the meeting I have failed.

My apologies to all the Big words I rely on to sound small and quaint.
Apologies to quaintness for implying it to be small.

My glorious round of apologies for a 'Sorry' I cannot seem to mean enough to want to say.

    it twists in on itself so perfectly and disappears headtail-first

    apologies it is -

    samesorry - the apology issued on reflex, the step on toes, bump on street insincere politeness

    rosorry - each of the middle of the night beads of regret you count and recount

    gigpology - the samesorry from the pyt

    swallory - the bitter swallow before the embarrassing stuttering bit

    apologentlic - those sweetly batted forgive me angel eyes

    approxology - the vague circling around the point (usually coming before the swallory)

    kissorry - the best (or least the most pleasant) way

  2. hmmm hmmm
    another topics I chooses
    let's say - offending sensibilities?
    freedom you have to change it of course

    lining the toes (up) - so that you can't avoid stepping on at least one of them

    sensinumbities - the fineness of feeling that allows you to be offended by a bit of paint on canvas and deaf to the sound of the painter's skull being cracked open

    farrighteousness - no explanation needed

    jantanger - the ever-useful overused fury you can pick up to use anytime

    logicophobe - a prerequisite to sensinumbity
