Analysis of Ode To Bobby D'
I never wanted to be famous,
I only wanted to be great
I never promised you an answer,
even now, as your questions inflate
I traveled from corner to corner,
you pushing back time and again
I never said it was magic,
—as wishes blow into the wind
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)
