The More Right? Poem by Douglas Scotney

While thinking what I would have thought
had I just been,
or been just,
caught at a level-crossing
after two and a half hours ago
having been caught behind a woman and five girls
at the ticket and candy counter
of that good children's movie, P,
when I was going to K
and could have seen two more
that were starting at the same time,

I thought I would have thought
about justice and bad luck,
which I wouldn't have thought about
had I not just,
or just not,
been caught.
