“The
Mistake
With
the mistake your life goes in reverse.
Now
you can see exactly what you did
Wrong
yesterday and wrong the day before
And
each mistake leads back to something worse
And
every nuance of your hypocrisy
Towards
yourself, and every excuse
Stands
solidly on the perspective lines
And
there is perfect visibility.
What
an enlightenment. The colonnade
Rolls
past on either side. You needn't move.
The
statues of your errors brush your sleeve.
You
watch the tale turn back — and you're dismayed.
And
this dismay at this, this big mistake
Is
made worse by the sight of all those who
Knew
all along where these mistakes would lead —
Those
frozen friends who watched the crisis break.
Why
didn't they say? Oh, but they did indeed —
Said
with a murmur when the time was wrong
Or
by a mild refusal to assent
Or
told you plainly but you would not heed.
Yes,
you can hear them now. It hurts. It's worse
Than
any sneer from any enemy.
Take
this dismay. Lay claim to this mistake.
Look
straight along the lines of this reverse.”

“A

conception of good—or a society’s default conceptions of “good”—has a broken
