I think this poem is about getting used to loosing things including a loved one. If you are used to loosing things than maybe it wont be so hard when you loose something or someone special.

I really enjoyed this poem, but i do not believe that this poem is about a disease. Maybe i just need more explaination, but no matter how i look at it I don't see that. I think that although losing things may look like a problem, it is really not that big of a deal.

Karan from Barbados, I totally agree with you on believing this poem is about someone with alzheimer's. It is obvious that the author believes that although losing little things isn't a disaster, when you lose something big like for instance your childrens' names, then you are experiencing a true disaster.

our class discussed this poem and came to the conclusion that she was talking about someone with alzeheimers and if you see the rhyme it goes slant, straight, slant, straight, just like the beginning stages of the disease you go in and out of it...maybe we're completely wrong or right on the dot..who knows???

this is an incredibly insightful poem. It seems to not only be about loss but about writing itself facinating.
