Radio
I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
from New and Selected Poems by David Lehman
This quote appears to suggest a rather fatalistic view towards dealing with negative or harmful elements, proposing that intervening in bad situations might lead to even worse outcomes. It implies a strategy of non-interference, positing that some things are better left unchanged because attempts to improve them could lead to greater harm. This viewpoint might be taken as cautionary advice in scenarios where intervention carries significant risk or uncertainty, advocating for a more conservative approach to handling problematic situations.
