But as I was reading the lyrics, I reviewed my time as a poet. Never considered the end until the end. I think Updike wrote or said he wrote with the ending in mind. I have read that strategists contemplate the ending and work back which makes our times troubling.
I always thought Dylan wrote with passion but the passion outweighed the message. He threw art on the ear and left it to us to extract meaning.
Ezra Pound wrote to expand our wisdom. Elliot to paint an intense image to challenge our thought process.
"Goin Nowhere," is held together by the refrain and the reality we are often stuck.
Wonder if it unfolded or he planned the mini vignettes.
