In the beginning of the passage‚ the speaker says‚ "To go into solitude‚ a man needs to retire as much from his chamber as from society. I am not solitary whilst I read and write‚ though nobody is with me. But if a man would be alone‚ let him look at the stars."

"from orange and brown and all unearthly colours‚ banish them back to the test tube‚ save us from them‚" This section of the poem starting at line 16 shows the speaker’s frustration with the falsified beauty we force on ourselves.

He uses his vocabulary‚ even the smallest words‚ to twist and turn the reader’s thoughts into this mass that doubles back on itself and produces a hatred for the war and a sadness for the speaker. In lines three through five‚ Weigl says “eventually/ You had to do something/Because it just kept piling up.” Not only does his use of the word “had” imply that the action necessary was more forceful than voluntary‚ but his vagueness with the words

“Everybody Hates Chris” I have watched Everybody Hates Chris ever since I was 10 years old and I still find it to be the best comedic television show on Nick at Night. When you have Chris Rock as the narrator‚ how can you not laugh? This show is considered to be one of the best shows on TV for family’s and younger children.

The poem is composed of five stanzas‚ all of them containing rebuttal. It isn’t until the end that the speaker suddenly realizes something critical. Laird leaves the reader questioning who is who‚ and which is what‚ allowing us to try to make sense of the genius poem.
