The Lawnmower

[rayheinrich]

The last line is a question that doesn't seem that rhetorical. The protagonist doesn't know why, and I, as a reader,
am content to accept the mystery if necessary. Though I think it might have something to do with the obviously ironic lines:
"Paper plates / are good for mixing paints" since they're utterly unsuitable for this purpose. I think the whole poem revolves
around  Jenny Agutter, as each line, especially the "hole" one, can be directly linked to one of her characters.
