Word Poem (Perhaps worth considering)

By: Nikki Giovanni

As things be/come let’s destroy then we can destroy what we be/come let’s build what we became when we dream

This poem can be read several ways. One of them being that you pause right before “come”. The other way is to bring the two words into “become” One way that I didn’t think of until a friend pointed out (and probably the most obvious), was to choose a word while reading. This could probably referred in the title “Perhaps worth considering”. Reading it in different ways brings a different emotion onto the reader. Sometimes sad, triumphul, and maybe horrific.
