1. Whenever Richard Cory went down town, / we people on the pavement looked at him (first name)
2. The art of losing isn't hard to master; / so many things seem to be filled with the intent / to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
3. The caged bird sings with a fearful trill / of things unknown but longed for still.
4. the phone rings, the cats sleep. / Linda vacuums, / I am waiting to live / waiting to die.
5. You cannot read me like an open book. / I'm more myself than you will ever look.
6. "ROWSES, Rowses! Penny a bunch!" they tell you-- / Slattern girls in Trafalgar, eager to sell you.
7. And what is life? An hour glass on the run, / A mist retreating from the morning sun
8. The pig is taught by sermons and epistles / To think the God of swine has snout and bristles.
9. Sometimes he would whistle, sometimes / I would. The boring rhythm of doing / things over and over, carrying / the wood, drying / the dishes
10. This is the way the world ends / Not with a bang but a whimper (+1)
11. Today I pass the time reading / a favorite haiku, / saying the few words over and over.
12. I went down to the river, / I set down on the bank./ I tried to think but couldn't, / So I jumped in and sank. (+1)
13. Red lips are not so red / as the stained stones kissed by the English dead.
14. I'm Nobody! Who are you? / Are you--Nobody--too?
15. Don't worry, spiders, / I keep house / casually.
