ventriloquist, human, dog
hungry, slate, car, hum
porcelain, happy, lamp shade

At first I couldn't help but laugh after reading my poem. After this reaction I then asked myself why I found it funny in the first place. I think it's because in each line of the poem, I found that inhuman things or objects were being personified. When I got to the line "hungry, slate, car, hum" I could almost see and hear the image. I think that my poem might be interpreted as materialism taken to far. So far that "things" hold almost human life and worth.
