How do I do a symbolism explication of the poem Litany by Billy Collins?

Question

It's for an all out exegesis for the poem, and I can't figure out symbolism for the life of me.

I'd prefer if I could get some relevant answers. Plus this is my first question on here so please forgive me if I did something stupid...

Answer 1

nothing stupid but you may want to post homework under homework thread next time.

it definitely displays both mockery and conceit. Nicely put. My favorite part? "It is possible that you are the fish under the bridge, /
maybe even the pigeon on the general's head,"
