"My will is my own, Isn't it ? " Well, isnt that the 10,000,000 dollar question!!!

Right? Maybe our will is the sum of all our experiences and/or the divergence of inner and outer worlds.

Exactly! Those external factors that have a way of affecting out trajectory in a way that you’d never imagine

Your free will is on display, great piece. Burroughs’ Soft Machine did come to mind, but that highlights that our mechanisms aren’t the least bit mechanical.

I haven’t read that series yet but it is on my list.

Thank you Robert, hope you have a great weekend.

I love the concept. A comparison between a human and a commuter.

Really good and enjoyed reading it

Well done

I loved how the poem never tries to answer the question, but simply keeps adding small details until it leaves it hanging in the final line.
