Analysis of Despite
John Townsend 1945 (Loughborough)
I question my intention
more often
than agree,
despite all the platforms
those choices
that maybe.
My thoughts stray
meander which way
I look at the destinations
then reluctantly
I turn away.
Despite my options
despite my urge to run
this is me
a song in the making
left unsung.
