After The Event



Its easier to live with after the event - altho reaching 
th’ point without retribution’s advent or going insane 
demands insouciance you don’t have on tap - being 
an observer means implicitly that you would have to 
explain your behaviour or be prepared for th’ blame: 
an instance where neutrality ignites the debate as to 
whose side you’re on - and fate doesn’t arbitrate - it 
leaves you implicated in the proceedings unfairly 

So ‘Where are we now?’ suggests you are agreeing 
as an associated party, even if you weren’t a driving 
seat contributor to the mess we’ve been left with - it 
may be a commiseration by you on your own behalf 
but as th’ cookie crumbles equally it behooves them 
all at th’ breach essentially see the same scene and 

Needless to say - begin to agree.
