Sins

I used to say

The only sin
I ever committed
Was the fact
I never committed any

I wondered
Occasionally
if anyone else
had ever said
those words before

If so I never heard

But they sounded
so very quotable to me
Still as far as I knew
Only my words for me

And for a time
they were so true

Yes, for a time
they used to be so true
they used to be so true
