Apology 1. admission of fault in what you think 2. formal defense in what you say, think or do




Janus Apology



To buss the other on the lips
Felt almost like being busted
To burst in laughter though seems
Unlikely to feel like when
The universe was bursting at the seams
To be pressed against the wall then
feels
like when everything dissappeared

not something to refrain from
but it(this kiss)
has become the REFRAIN:

something to repeat

The word-pictures from the title, using homonyms/near-homonyms in opposition, are quite creative (buss/busted, seams/seems.)

He, Janus, needs to keep on apologizing. He's talking out of both sides of his mouth. ( : : )

Not exactly apropos, but it comes to mind:

"In the 1983 film Educating Rita, Rita (Julie Walters) asks Professor Frank Bryant (Michael Caine) the meaning of assonance.

R: What does assonance mean?
P: What?
R: Don't laugh at me.
P: Er, no. Erm, assonance, it's a form of rhyme.
R: Erm, what's an example?
P: Do you know Yeats?
R: The wine lodge?
P: No, WB Yeats, the poet.
R: No.
P: Well, in his poem The Wild Swans At Coole, Yeats
rhymes the word "swan" with the word "stone". You
see? That's an example of assonance.
R: Ooh, yeah, means getting the rhyme wrong.
P: I've never thought of it like that."

Not that you got it wrong : ) No more than Dylan, Bob, ever did. And he didn't. Did he? But it seems (to me) "seams" need a "seems," but I dearly like the refrain.
