<b>This part shows at least two examples of juxtaposition.

Tragedies relegated to a three-foot pile of discarded newsprint.

Violent death and hockey scores

Isn't it also ironic that tragedies have been reduced to old newspapers stuffed in a closet? Also look at the last few lines of the poem.</b>

"In that three foot pile now,
a dozen airliner crashes,
one earthquake in Alaska,
seventeen American soldiers
face down in Asian mud.

I could go on enumerating
like newsprint-we record
violent death&hockey scores
&keep the front room neat"
