Retrospective
Hindsight marches in, nonchalant,
And makes one a revisionist historian:
Dilemmas resolved but deleterious
Once again promise to turn mysterious.
So the agony of crossroads past
Is sculpted in high-relief,
While erstwhile echoes
Taunt in high-fidelity.
The farce is interactive
And the thespian exceedingly demanding:
Exhumes storylines thought inert,
Hands you a re-write quill under duress.
The rabbit-hole extravaganza
Leaves bitterness as relict,
Elevates the hypothesis into high art,
Yet never alters a single verdict.
