Just His Fault?

He knocked a glass off the next table,
and it shattered on the ground.

Whose fault is it?
He wondered…

Is it the waitress’?
For not clearing the cluttered table fast enough?

Is it the previous diner,
who placed his glass too near the table’s edge?

Is it both their fault?
Or just his own fault – for being unmindful, for trying to push the blame?
