Although‚ in love with this man or just living the life of that era‚ they could not speak for themselves and

    This poem is really easy to identify with. The first 4 stanzas are clearly relating the reader to the poem. Everyone at some point has to learn these general‚ seemingly useless facts. “A state flower” “The capital of Paraguay” so arbitrary‚ but so true in that this brings back memories of 3rd or 5th grade for almost all of us‚ it is bound to strike a chord with the reader. This is also coupled with a slightly nostalgic loss of these facts in the first stanza‚ as slowly the individual sections of
