The first poem I would like to address is David Chen's poem. He initially repeats the word "normal" and words like it multiple times in the first couple lines causing the audience to believe that the patriarchal view he takes on the painting is commonplace. He also causes the audience to believe that the average man is a brute and "lethal" choosing the diction to do so. Furthermore, he uses the diction referring to the man as a savage and the woman as a prisoner. This all blatantly suggests that the average woman is subjugated and lives in a patriarchal society.
The other poem I interpreted was Emily Cashman's. The poem suggest the power of team work is enormous. The line "Grasp hands and swiftly turn" symbolizes that when people put their work together, they have the ability to make something momentous. Eventually, when the group becomes too momentous, hands can break and the group dynamic completely goes out of whack. The people in the painting move away with their heads bowed as the team work dynamic is forever
