Can You Analyze This Poem (Sorting)?

Question

Please, no "I like this" or "I don't like this"; tell me what you think is happening and your evidence to back it up. Best depth and spotting metaphors gets the points. BTW, I am the author.

Sorting


In the bacon-colored
cedar closet, the rack.

Cordovan wing-tips,
patent leather dress,
plain-toed Army brogues
stand upright as soldiers --
under their dust, wax shines.
House slippers,
left one scuffed to rags,
right almost new,
do the best they can.
Slip-ons slouch,
stained from garden
weeds and soil.
A box waits for most,
carefully stacked full
as though it
mattered. “Take some,”
she says, “you wear the same
size as your dad. The rest are just going
to Saint Pat’s. Take some.”
A pair of cordovans joins
a suitcase overfilled with socks
and casual sweaters.

Next we sort the guns.

Answer 1

You all are from Arkansas, Pop passed. He was in the service, lost a leg or foot. House slippers might need to be thrown away or separated. You think that the shoes are now practically worthless (but they are not), pop loved shoes, gardening and his gun collection. You're tempted to wear the Cordovan's but are afraid of what other people might say, they look pretty old but very fashionable at the same time. You might very well have use for the socks but the casual sweaters will have to also, secretly go to Saint Pat's as well.

Answer 2

guns are sensible procedures, utilized in heritage for protection applications by employing strong adult men. I evaluate them as having a particular spiritualism, continually the owner receives emotionally in contact with a masterfully made handgun.. An previous 40 4, 40 5, a 9mm.. "God did not create adult men equivalent, yet Colt did." An commercial of Colt revolver six shooters, of the nineteenth century. My attitude is that if someone benefits the right to personal/manage a gun, he might want to be very careful, because the human existence is the most expensive "merchandise" contained in the total international.

Answer 3
