Much Pardon

Pardon my French,
pardon my brevity,
pardon my lack
of ability for levity.
Pardon my planted
unpardoned feet
that need much pardoning
for the pardoning they defeat.
Pardon my words,
pardon my ignorance,
pardon my lack of interest
in your lack of approval for my boldness.
Pardon my offense,
pardon my speech,
pardon my counterparts,
your colleagues who love to leech.
And on my behalf,
pardon yourself,
the apparent judge of all mankind,
the eventual executioner to one's own self.
