She Unnames Them

This story was kind of weird. Is about someone unaming animals or something like that. The person takes away the generic names for a species like 'cats' or 'dogs' but lets them keep their personal names. Its never very clear who the man and the woman are. The man is Adam and so the woman would probably be Eve, however they named the animals and this woman is unnaming them so its very odd and is kind of hard to understand.

A Cold Coming

I had not clue what was going on is this poem. Its about a dead Iraqi soldier who was talking to someone before he was burned to death. The Iraqi soldier was talking about sperm or something like that. Apparently the Americans froze their sperm frozen so in case they died their wives could be introvertalized and they could have children after they died. This apparently scared the Iraqis. Very strange poem.

Journey of the Magi

This poem is about the journey of the Magi to the birthplace of baby Jesus. The poem is however told pasttense as one of the Magi is remembering it when he is old. The Magi also mentions having seen Jesus' death on the cross and how important both events were to him.

In "She Unnames Them" i didn't know that the narrators were Adam & Eve. This makes a lot more sense. I wasn't sure if the speaker was another animal or a person.
