Forgive me
I don't want to explain away
the fact that I needed time
to put the consequences
of one or the other
together
The appearances may be against me
but I didn't hold aloof
really, I never wait and see
I don't look away
I just look thoroughly
for a well-considered decision
because so much is happening
and often there is no clear line
in all the details
And I don't want to do anything wrong
That is the seed
of my passivity
My aversion to misdeeds
