Uttering the phrase,
“I beg your pardon?”
What exactly is it we ask?
Forgiveness? Mercy? Release?
Pardon what?
Me? The lapse? Our situation?
Who is to say?
Offense? Offender? Offendee?
Does size or scope matter?
Which slipup slides through?
What excuse is inexcusable?
Do we forget to forgive or forgive to forget?
What to overlook? Disregard? Ignore?
Which to pardon? Excuse? Absolve?
Affront or affronter?
Do we forgive as we wish to be forgiven or not?
