Could !?
Would I?
I wonder if I should
or if a refusal to do anything
would be spectacularly rude.
Can I?
Will I?
I wonder if I ought
to honour my obligations
or if I’d rather not.
Am I able?
Am I willing
or am I being compelled
to do exactly as instructed?
I’ll just say ‘go to hell!’
Awake in the night before travelling, I composed this while dozing and waiting for rising time.
Scribbled it hurriedly before setting off.
Here it is, a homily on choice, if you will. I decided to seek out a crossroads from the abandoned city, Cairo, Illinois. 12th Street and Commercial Avenue. Of course, there are people there still. Just not so many…
