Question:

I came across a new poem. Please let me know if you like it?

Every now and then I come across a poem that really speaks to me. I know we all have different tastes, but I really enjoyed this poem. Please let me know if you liked it? The author is Gerald Costanzo. It's called, "Introduction of the Shopping Cart" Strophes 4,6, and 8 should be italicized but YA isn't helping me out.

Introduction of the Shopping Cart
Oklahoma City, 1937

There was a man
who collected facts.

After work he rode twenty stories,
let himself in
to cartons filled with index cards
and his crucial lists.

Facts reveal useful lives.
He got things right.

The shopping cart invented
by Sylvan Goldman,
Oklahoma City, 1937

When the man passed on
his relatives came.

P.T. Barnum had four daughters.

They searched through his cartons
for ten-dollar bills.

The sky, which on cloudless
days appears to be azure,
has no true color.

He wasn??t eccentric.
When they found nothing,
they threw everything
out.

His final fact:
you live and you die

The shopping cart. P.T. Barnum.

The sky.
