After reading this poem, and before we did the draft in class, I was intrigued by Stafford's use of the impersonal language mixed with the personal. That section "It is usually best to roll them into the canyon:/ that road is narrow; to swerve might make more dead" stuck with me. I wanted to try that myself leading to the riff...
Hiding in the woods I spotted a walker-
dead, but dragging feet and gurgling moans along I-20.
It is usually best to stab them in the brain:
a gun is loud; to shoot will make more dead.
**for those who don't watch The Walking Dead...I am sorry.
