not really anybody’s fault
an unhinged series of unfortunate events
bad luck, potentially bad planning
i don’t know how it happened because that wasn’t my job
i was just hired for something
and i did that thing
and then another thing
and then another
or the show would have been canceled
because the bosses hadn’t been able to foresee the unforeseen
but the bosses should have been smarter than us
they should have been smarter than me
they should have been around in case the unforeseen became another,
very real,
thing to handle
so the somebody’s who had to handle it
hadn’t become us

they should have been smarter than us
smart enough to play it safe

it’s easy for me to say
but it was hard for me to fix
