What is the poem "Like Bookends" by Eve Merriam about? I need help analyzing it, and how does it connect to the poet and the speaker in the poem?
Like bookends
my father at one side
my mother at the other
propping me up
but unable to read
what I feel.
Were they born with clothes on?
Born with rules on?
When we sit at the dinner table
10 we smooth our napkins into polite folds.
How was your day dear
Fine
And how was yours dear
Fine
And how was school
The same
Only once in a while
when we’re not trying so hard
when we’re not trying at all
our napkins suddenly whirl away
and we float up to the ceiling
where we sing and dance until it hurts from laughing
and then we float down
with our napkin parachutes
and once again spoon our soup
and pass the bread please.
