Dragonfly choices

The dragonfly hovers in the air,

before darting off from here to there.

It doesn’t seem to have a plan,

but simply goes wherever it can.

I wonder if it ever makes a choice,

or listens to its inner voice.

Or do its whims always dictate

the routes that it decides to take?

Does it consider consequences,

or simply respond to incidences?

Does it know its impact on another,

or does this never become a bother?

Dragonfly, do you care to know

the effect you have on those below?

You attract with endless fascination,

but is this with calculated anticipation?
