Jeffrey Winke: I HAD SAID WHAT YOU HAD SAID

.

There wasn’t much that could be said that hasn’t been said, he said. She said, What should have been said wasn’t said. I said what I thought had to be said, he said. But you could have said what needed to be said, she said. He said, I thought I had said what you had said I should have said. No you said what I hadn’t expected to be said, she said. But I said I was sorry, he said. But you could have said you were sorry well before you said what you said, she said. But I said, I’m sorry, he said. But it was said too late, she said.
