Analysis and comments on Her Lips Are Copper Wire by Jean Toomer

Comment 3 of 3, added on January 26th, 2006 at 10:36 PM.

This is a great poem. there is so much imagery. "telephone the power-house
that the main wires are insulate" is like saying that there is electrical
tape on the wires that are the feelings that they have for each other.
"then with your toung remove the tape" is like saying remove the
hesitation, fear and uncertainty that we might have about each other.

I think you are exactly right... people never look into the person to see
how great they really are they look at the color of there skin. Racisim is
still going on and should be stopped!!!!!!
