The bedroom poems of the 18th century was a new piece of literature introduced to me. I like how these poems were so detailed and made you cringe from the sights that were being portrayed.

Kairos: The poem’s setting begins as the narrator is sitting in his wheelchair in the dark. It says that he was wearing a “Legless‚ sewn short at elbow” (line 2) which allows the reader to see that he has lost his legs. Then the setting moves in to the past as his memories become of topic.
