BJ's reaction to Washington Etude

The first thing i noticed about alexander's piece was that there was definitely a story unfolding. But as i read on another story and another story appeared before my eyes. She bounced so many times that at first i wasn't sure if this was a story or a random listing of seperate events that somehow came to mind at one time with pen in hand. The only consistency i could find was time. She definitely had a particular time in mind for each "story". These didn't seem to just be ideas or beliefs, they seemed like memories from times in her life. And as i read it and read it, i was actually a little sad because by not really understanding the events i feel like i never got to really know the author. i loved the here and there personification though. it allowed me to imagine simple things like "husks" and "stars" doing things far greater than they are capable. Which is relative to my poem written for this upcoming tuesday's class about a childhood incident. I think the thing that kept me intrigued also confused and that would be her line breaks. I also used these very untraditional yet important breakages as well. Overall it was a good read although i'm not quite sure what i was reading about.
