Involved Parties

You, to begin with. Your
friend Anne, who was
in the car only because
you generously offered
to help her get to work.
The indignant man
called Phil, whose fault
it is that you no longer
have the ability to offer
these rides to anyone.
Phil's wife, Rosetta, who
believes that you are
responsible for this.
Micah, a bystander,
who saw nothing but
believes he saw it all.
And finally: a fractured
conscience, belonging
always, only, ever,
to you.
