Could you help me with a poetry explication?
It’s a poem by Dennis Cooper, called ABBA- http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/
Please read it and help me out finding imagery/rhetorical, literary, or musical devices/rhyme or meter. I honestly am having a lot of trouble because it’s such a simple, blunt poem
Thanks a ton!
