"Sketch in October"
- very tight and controlled, almost William Carlos Williams maybe?
- operates on tense but seemingly flat language
- offers a question- call and response tactic?
- extinguished lamps-reduction?
- trees act as signal lights, why?
- "shore" line 3. numerous potential metaphorical
- trees have agency, obvious play and reversal here
- people have no agency as they require machines for movement. How can I complicate this?
- mushrooms as fingers-again no human agency- why mushrooms? what implications might i be missing here?
- Transtormer defines the someone (line 7) as male. Possible feminist reclamation trope at work? Prufrock like impotence?
- Yet we (humanity) belong to the Earth. Evidence that power, female or otherwise is futile?
- Similar maybe to Frost's Design or Desert Places?
Try to locate particular textual phenomena, too. Rather than pose questions, here, record facts.
