"when i walk/i part the air/and always/the air moves in/to fill the spaces/where my body's been." this could mean when the narrator enters an area, he/she interrupts others in their daily lives. all attention is focussed on that person and others are waiting for him/her to move on so they can continue with life. <br /><br />"i move/to keep things whole" i understand this as the narrator thinking of him/herself as a bother to everyone and he/she must move on with life (as quickly and unnoticed as possible) and bother everyone equally rather than bothering a few people for a long time in one place. <br /><br />again, i love this poem however you look at it and i will spend hours reading it over and over. <br /><br />good poetry is when the author makes you feel how they felt when writing it and i felt a sense of loneliness and like im unwanted, ...but then i return to reality.... ...anyways this poem takes me places where i could not go without it!katie-lynnnoreply@blogger.com
