Pinching petunias,

Accidentally nipping

a good crown in the bud,

muttering guiltily

“I’m sorry, so sorry!”

Plants scream when approached by 2-footed humans, only their alarms are too high to be heard (Wish I’d caught that reference)

Unknowable

I should have known?

Who is speaking, saying

“You should have known?”

Not me! I could not,

cannot, truth be told would not

know the future, for sure.
