Regrets

regrets like used toothpicks
are thrown away after use,
since there is no point in
holding onto them any longer
than becoming aware that
they exist in the first place;
regrets like backwards thinking
have no useful purpose once
the original bad feeling has
been received and logged in
one's memory for future use;
regrets come and go like one's
memories after a certain age and
once they have been reflected
upon serve no other purpose
except assigning blame or guilt;
regrets offer no do overs or
make overs as with other parts
of the body and are what they
are...  and it is what it is...  or
generally speaking that is true;
regrets are packed away in a
mental suitcase, stored in the 
attics of our mind and are only
retrievable if an autopsy is
performed in lieu of cremation;
regrets seal the hull of the ship
that never sails since the captain
of the original one never drowns.
