This seems like the feds could decide what children could and couldn't see and that could backfire tremendously....

Critical race vs gender ideology - that's interesting.....

Asch, D. A., & Allison, K. C. (2021, November 26). The pandemic is deeply affecting many people with eating disorders. STAT. https://www.statnews.com/2021/11/26/pandemic-deeply-affected-many-people-with-eating-disorders/

this is a very interesting idea that i have never thought of. But i don't think that it would work as well because for me i like of make my own mental image of the characters while reading the book. so if it were a movie i would immediately think of the actors that played them in the movie.

So the last two lines are repeated from the beginning of the poem, Since this is the last lines of the poem then I see this as maybe the rest of the poem was his vision or dream of what he sees through the open shears in the garden. The gardener was using his imagination through his own lenses of how he may see his own fragile life. Maybe he is bored or needs to sort through his own views of life. Since he is a gardener he could see himself as a lower statue in life because he works for royalty and feels he is a nobody. Many times nobility will treat those that are not as elite like they don't matter. Many times I see this in the wealthy in our own lives or see how put others down who are poor or from other countries.
