Apology Poem by William Carlos Williams
Apology
Rating: ★2.8
Why do I write today?
The beauty of
the terrible faces
of our nonentites
stirs me to it:
colored women
day workers—
old and experienced—
returning home at dusk
in cast off clothing
faces like
old Florentine oak.
Also
the set pieces
of your faces stir me—
leading citizens—
but not
in the same way.

A reason to write is in the apology. We should also question why we write.
