Question

Read the poem below and answer questions 36 and 37.

miss rosie by Lucille Clifton

when I watch you

wrapped up like garbage

sitting, surrounded by the smell

of too old potato peels

or when I watch you

in your old man's shoes

with the little toe cut out

sitting, waiting for your mind

like next week's grocery

I say

when I watch you

you wet brown bag of a woman

who used to be the best looking gal in Georgia

used to be called the Georgia Rose

I stand up

through your destruction

I stand up
