Literature Classes

Notes - One of the poems submitted in my final project for the "Whitman's Children" class. It was supposed to connect with Sharon Olds frequent use of cells as in The Gold Cell, and also based on emotions. It got a lot of laughs from the class but I don't think anyone outside it will find it as funny. -- I'm supposed to be out of here by May I'm supposed to be writing, not reading But it's all tied together, I guess. Registration says class is cancelled. That's great. Could mean two more years Of picking apart works that I've never heard of. By now I should know what the Robber Bride steals Who has the Moonstone, why Falstaff won't leave Hal alone Where Miss Eyre went for the summer And how Whitman writes songs about himself. I'm staring at the screen and class takes over my brain Picking apart things that probably should stay together For my own mental health. Section cancelled Cancelled Cell
