Question

The narrator of the poem is..?

Answer 1

Awash
By Brian Russell
the unthinkable prospect
of a world in which I am left
to my own devices

which are few and as soon
as the batteries die useless
first order of business

I draw a map in the sand
mark where I stand as the capital
of civilization within me the
detailed blueprints of the pyramids
and the concept of zero
beyond me the finite frontier

the many miles of undeveloped
shoreline with spectacular views of a
sea filled with intricately depicted
monsters I have a lot to do before

I introduce the new world
to art and astronomy and industry
medicine and technology
ethics politics democracy

by a show of hands we shall elect
which tree to burn in the first fire

Are there choices? It seems it's in first person but I doubt that's the answer

Answer 4

This is for a ppt presentation and the requirements say 4. After the poem, the next slide should identify the speaker of the poem.

Answer 6

I want to say it's just brian russell (the author) but I'm not sure. Try tagging other people
