We Are Not Things framed by a doorway

[QDeathstar]

ok... but your poem isn't referring to times gone by...
my point is, there isn't better imagery you could have used?

Would you like to provide an example?

it's not my poem, but...

I am not your condom, disgarded in the toilet bowl,
drowning and left to swim alone.

I am not your garage sale, piled high in busted boxes,
my peices tossed on the front lawn.

also, there is certain irony about naming the poem "We are not things framed (by a doorway)" then building a cage around your poem forcing it into a 4x8x7 frame that crops the picture off at the heads.
