finally get into the theater. I ignore the crackling‚ suction-cup feel of a floor that has had one too many sugary sodas dropped on it and carefully make my way to a seat far away from the sparse amount of people already inhabiting the theater.

An analysis of “In the Waiting Room” from Elizabeth Bishop There are few poets in 20th century‚ who portrayed their life in their poems as prolifically and thoroughly detailed as Elizabeth Bishop.
