The Science of Passing the Buck

Come on, I dare you,
blame it
on Covid, or the war
in Ukraine
or maybe, on Brexit
or the weather
for fuck sake ..
Just say it’s too risky
and no one
will notice, or question
the truth
of the matter or care
either way ..
And heaven forbid,
if they did
you could sue them ..
But whatever
the case, deny any guilt
and don’t delay
in pointing the finger ..
At some other
poor bastard, as soon as
you can mate ..
