can someone interpret this poem?

Question

ithis is sylvia plath's work -- "mushroom"

Mushrooms

"Overnight, very
Whitely, discreetly,
Very quietly

Our toes, our noses
Take hold on the loam,
Acquire the air.

Nobody sees us,
Stops us, betrays us;
The small grains make room.

Soft fists insist on
Heaving the needles,
The leafy bedding,

Even the paving.
Our hammers, our rams,
Earless and eyeless,

Perfectly voiceless,
Widen the crannies,
Shoulder through holes. We

Diet on water,
On crumbs of shadow,
Bland-mannered, asking

Little or nothing.
So many of us!
So many of us!

We are shelves, we are
Tables, we are meek,
We are edible,

Nudgers and shovers
In spite of ourselves.
Our kind multiplies:

We shall by morning
Inherit the earth.
Our foot's in the door."

Answer 1

general theme: "meek will inherit the earth"

It is about the slow and the steady winning the race, and Plath has written this openly, with many possible underlying meanings. it could be about womens rights, Jews, maybe her baby or just generally people that are passive and compliant. It is not dark, but gentle and subtle and nice.

Answer 2

I love this poem, it is all about the little things that make a huge difference in our world!!! I really really like it

Answer 3

Despite all of our efforts, despite everything we build, accomplish or succeed at, the "low" organisms, mushrooms, will break it down, will consume us when we are dead and gone.
