This is an interesting
poem that makes readers look at objects differently. Time can be an
object that is tied to the wrist (199), which is most likely to be a
watch. This is an interesting way to address such daily objects. This is
making the intangible time to become a tangible object like watch.
Colors ("colours") can hide themselves in pairs is a personification, which is another method of visualizing the objects in the poem. Model T is a car, but in the poem it is merely a room with a lock inside. This represents the poet's feeling of the changing technology, to which the poet feels unfamiliar somehow. In all, this is a poem that is written by a "complete outside" who uses a different perspective to look at our world. This gives the reader the chance to give a second look to the world. |
