What I Said by: Norman Stock

This poem seems to be a in the moment, run-on poem. I really seem to attach to this poem. So, sorry but I am going into a soap box here. While reading this all I could feel was what i felt after hearing about my boyfriend's mothers death in August. Exactly how the speaker is taking and the complete dissregaurd for real sentance structure, is that moment you find the story out. In the poem there is a continuance of questions and the word "and". There are also no periods at all indicating this is not spoken light-heartedly. The frequent "and" in this poem shows how there is no stopping for breaths, you forget how to breathe there are only constant words of "why". When going through a tragic death, you want to know every little detail, and honestly, you want the one who caused it dead being in line 13, " and I said let's kill them". It is that over rush of someone killed my mother, therefore I must kill them. i have no idea who this speaker lost but they were obviosly important to them. I have never conected to a poem so intensely. Exactly what is happeneing in this man or woman's mouth, came out of mine as well.
