Mary: The fact is, Susan has practiced very hard and with great passion. She is really strong, so she will be tough
to defeat.

1. To a Daughter Leaving Home
When I taught you
at eight to ride
a bicycle, loping along
beside you
as you wobbled away
on two round wheels,
my own mouth rounding
in surprise when you pulled
ahead down the curved
path of the park,
I kept waiting
for the thud
of your crash as I
sprinted to catch up,
while you grew
smaller, more breakable
with distance,
pumping, pumping
for your life, screaming
with laughter,
the hair flapping
behind you like a
handkerchief waving
goodbye.
* lope: to jog swiftly
2. The Red Hat
It started before Christmas. Now our son
officially walks to school alone.
Semi-alone, it’s accurate to say:
I or his father track him on the way.
He walks up on the east side of West End,
we on the west side. Glances can extend
(and do) across the street; not eye contact.
Already ties are feeling and not fact.
Straus Park is where these parallel paths part;
he goes alone from there. The watcher’s heart
stretches, elastic in its love and fear,
toward him as we see him disappear,
striding briskly. Where two weeks ago,
holding a hand, he’d dawdle, dreamy, slow,
he now is hustled forward by the pull
of something far more powerful than school.
The mornings we turn back to are no more
than forty minutes longer than before,
but they feel vastly different flimsy, strange,
wavering in the eddies of this change,
empty, unanchored, perilously light
since the red hat vanished from our sight.
* dawdle: to spend time idly
* flimsy: feeble
* eddies: swirling waters
The above two poems, one dealing with a story about a young girl’s learning to ride a bicycle, the other about
a young boy’s learning to walk to school, are interpreted to share a common thematic idea. First, focusing on what
is going on between the “I” and the young daughter, write about the thematic idea of the first poem in less than
two lines. Second, explain the metaphorical meanings of the four underlined parts of the first poem in one
paragraph. Third, in another paragraph, explain both literally and metaphorically what has been happening to the son
between now and two weeks ago in the second poem.
