Aptly, since the narrator is the author of this book, "My Life" contains the theme of language which is frequently mentioned throughout these poems. Better things are gathered in a pen, and paper contains an oral history. The verb "to care" can multiply to a country that did not speak another language. The front of harmless rhymes with harmony. The narrator mentions the absence of allusion and a theater fill with transition. She claims that there is no laughter without comparisons and that language is restless. Grandmother stares at some definite object which is some noun. She also uses a set of expressions long after they are unfashionable.
