Honestly speaking, as I read this poem it reminded me of how I write my poems. He wrote this poem literally as he was writing in a journal. He did not rhyme so you can tell the poem was written just as he would speak it. He went into the context of showing face that he didn't want to be like his professor (not sure if just by race, occupation or American) but also the professor didn't want to be like him either. He said
Go home and write
a page tonight.
And let that page come out of you—
Then, it will be true.
He did and thats exactly why he wrote the way he did. He let out his true emotions and put it on the paper. I don't know why but so far both poems that I read from him didn't necessarily give me an image to work off off, maybe the next one I read will.
