Apology Buoy Aphorisms
We are deeply sorry for the inconvenience. Please cling to this hollow plastic sphere of regret while the ship of reliability sinks beneath you.
The apology bobs on the surface of the outrage. It does not calm the storm, but it provides a brightly colored marker of where the disaster occurred.
Our regret is profound, structurally rigid, and hollow inside so it doesn’t sink under the weight of our actual legal liabilities.
Navigate around the apology. Do not attempt to stand on it. It is entirely buoyant and contains zero solid solutions.
The buoy bobs gently in the wreckage. It fixes nothing, but we love it because it is the only thing left that acknowledges we drowned.
Do not trust the floating apology. It is bright and hollow, designed to distract you while the heavy truths sink out of sight.
The corporate sorrow was deployed perfectly. It looked so beautiful floating there that we almost didn’t notice the water filling our lungs.
We catalog the apology buoys in the archive. They are the bright, plastic tombstones of every catastrophic mistake we ever learned to forgive.
Long after the ship has vanished, the statement of regret bobs alone in the dark water, a steadfast and lonely beacon of our failure.
