ADVANCED HINDSIGHT

                    The Center for Advanced Hindsight at Duke
                    Sounds like a bad invention by a kook,
                    A view ass-backwards with a rearward mirror
                    As if that would make everything much clearer;

                    But then, more charitably, I might grant
                    That looking at things from a different slant
                    Or with a fresh perspective yields a view
                    Revealing what’s more likely to be true.
