Question

The narrator stacks these objects “for the children of Kentucky, one gray boxcar at a time” in Philip Levine’s poem “You Can Have It.” The addressee spends her “last damn dime” on one of these objects in a Mathew Olzmann poem that claims to be a commercial for one of these objects “Disguised (15[1])as a (15[1])Love Poem.” (15[1])The speaker of a poem titled for one of these objects explains that a statement is “partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love (15[1])for yoghurt.” The speaker of that poem titled for one of these objects (15[1])later adds “and the fact that you move so (-5[1])(*) beautifully more or less takes care of Futurism.” One of these objects titles a poem whose speaker would “rather look at you (-5[1])than all the portraits in the world (10[1])/ except possibly for the Polish Rider occasionally.” (10[2])For 10 points, Frank O’Hara claims that the most fun activity is having what drink “with You?” (10[1])■END■
