This poem seems too simple. Am I missing something?
I've interpreted it essentially as the reality of old age and the process of dying (likely inspired by his father's death two years prior to publication). William's was also an imagist so that explains why nothing is blatantly explained.
Is there anything else?

The stanza breaks are nonsensical and excessive. Other than that this is a fine poem.

maybe she/he wanted to preserve how the thoughts fell onto the page no backspace. sometimes when it takes a moment people might (enter) involuntarily and don’t want to fix errors because they’re writing for themselves, and not others and if the other person wanted to understand, they would.
maybe she’he is writing to preseve their own moment in time in its original standing/form. not for demonstration.

maybe she/he is an old lady who is too weak to edit, or too intelig3nt to care.
fuck your rules and adherences.
we never know what the author is going through, from where they are writing. i love how lit critique is one big bully party. analysis is fine, but i'd rather encourage expression and thought/intention as opposed to formulaic measures. aka i wont shit on a siberian mute for not speaking in eng dialect because ~ ~ hand symbols are worse than oral communication. ~

>write in stream of consciousness >autist criticizes and overanalyzes it as if it's my master thesis
why do people do this? i don't owe you a care.

not to be an emo but
how that person writes is none of your business
just close your eyes lmao aiaihaiaha nigga
like
worry about your damn self
maybe that person has lost everything and they have nothing to uphold. fuck spellcheck and grammar. they'll do whatever they please because they don't care to impress you or anyone else. if it makes sense to the author, that's all that should matter. who said it needs to make sense? you're a selfish fuck
