  15. 2. The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner From my mother's sleep I fell into the State, And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze. Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life, I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters. When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose. Randall Jarrell

  16. 3. There Will Come Soft Rains There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;And frogs in the pools singing at night,And wild plum trees in tremulous white;Robins will wear their feathery fire,Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;And not one will know of the war, not oneWill care at last when it is done.Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,If mankind perished utterly;And Spring herself, when she woke at dawnWould scarcely know that we were gone. Sara Teasdale

  17. 4. An Ancient Gesture • I thought, as I wiped my eyes on the corner of my apron: • Penelope did this too. • And more than once: you can't keep weaving all day • And undoing it all through the night; • Your arms get tired, and the back of your neck gets tight; • And along towards morning, when you think it will never be light, • And your husband has been gone, and you don't know where, for years. • Suddenly you burst into tears; • There is simply nothing else to do. • And I thought, as I wiped my eyes on the corner of my apron: • This is an ancient gesture, authentic, antique, • In the very best tradition, classic, Greek; • Ulysses did this too. • But only as a gesture,—a gesture which implied • To the assembled throng that he was much too moved to speak. • He learned it from Penelope... • Penelope, who really cried. • Edna St. Vincent Millay

  18. 5. The Red Wheelbarrow so much dependsupon a red wheelbarrow glazed with rainwater beside the whitechickens. -William Carlos Williams
