Why did you do it?
If you did it intentionally
it's far different than accidentally,
a default of equipment,
a fluke event.
Intentionally is easy enough...
to understand, at least.
But knowingly?
You knew when so-and-so happened
and whatever happened,
then such-and-such would happen?
Carelessly? What standard of care?
How careful is careful enough?
But the guilty mind can ignore nuances,
and we judge ourselves guilty,
carry the weight for years
loading us down like Atlas's globe,
and when we finally do a Fifth Step
and discuss the nuances
we can begin to understand
the burden we carry should be simply
"not guilty."
