Question:
"The Art of Disappearing" and "You Could Tumble Any Second"
I recently read this poem and absolutely love it and can see how it would relate to most of our lives in some sense. However, I would like another opinion as to what the meanings of each stanza are with regard to reflection on life, lessons to be learned, etc. Her ideas seem so basic, yet I think I'm missing the deeper meaning.
Also, with regard to the essay, "You Could Tumble Any Second" by Roger Housden (from the book "Ten Poems to Last a Lifetime), in which he discusses the poem and his ideas, I'd like to know your thoughts on the accuracy of his ideas or how else could we look at the poem.
