Ead the poem below and complete the instruction that follows.

“in my mother’s house”
by gloria g. murray

every wall
stood at attention
even the air knew
when to hold its breath
the polished floors

crinkled in discomfort

crawled like roaches
back into the cracks

even the humans sat—
cardboard cut-outs
around the formica
kitchen table
and with silver knives
sliced and swallowed
their words
