Key learning points: - The short lines and lack of punctuation make the poem sound conversational in tone. - The lack of punctuation could create a sense of strong emotion, illustrating Agard's frustration. - It is written in a mixture of dialects, perhaps reflecting the merging of identities. - Agard uses direct address to encourage the reader to challenge their prejudices. - Agard uses a series of comparisons to underline the ridiculousness of these prejudicial thoughts.\n
