Enough time had passed.
Sharp edges had blurred
And yesterday’s tragedy
Had been reduced to a series of mistakes.
All that remained was a need
To accept a tolerable level of blame
And prepare for the next event,
Hoping the errors will be new and containable.
Genuflecting in the direction
Of renewal marked the conversation.
Notwithstanding irrelevant observations,
The three parties moved into agreement.
All took turns completing one another's thoughts,
Targets were set, tasks were proposed and accepted.
A path emerging that served
Both individual and group objectives.
As always, it proved easier to nod
Before assignments were undertaken and
Pieces and people refused to fit comfortably.
Still we came and left as friends, with hope for tomorrow.
