That stanza is a rapid, episodic life-story — a montage of quick snapshots. By stringing brief images (“the river crossing at five,” “the spinach fields,” etc.) without transitions, the speaker compresses years of memory into a breathless, list‑like sketch of migration, work, and family moments rather than a detailed scene. The effect is an oral, anecdotal summary of a life in fragments.
