"The Accident"

I believe that the poem is describing a close call on behalf of the secret affair between a man and his neighbor. The man seems to be very uncomfortable in his dealings with his wife not acting as his normal “show off” self. The neighbor is described as “still-flushed” apparently out of guilt or the fact that the man was acting in a peculiar unrest manner. The speaker makes note of the awkward situation allowing the reader to believe that the man’s wife knows that something is out of line.

Dear Molly B 7 I agree with your statement about the husband attempting to make things better. He has obviously done something wrong and wants to make things right when everything is visibly distorted.
