That is, explicate (explain the poem; translate it into prose) how to chang the poem to proes dusting julia alvarez each morning i wrote my name on the dusty cabinet, then crossed the dining table in script, scrawled in capitals on the backs of chairs, practicing signatures like scales while mother followed squirting linseed from a burping can into a crumpled-up flannel. she erased my fingerprints from the bookshelf and rocker, polished mirrors on the desk scribbled with my alphabets. my name was swallowed in the towel with which she jeweled the table tops. the grain surfaced in the oak and the pine grew luminous. but i refused with every mark to be like her, anonymous.

Each morning I wrote my name

on the dusty cabinet, then crossed

the dining table in script, scrawled

in capitals on the backs of chairs,

practicing signatures like scales

while Mother followed squirting

linseed from a burping can

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
