about was that stupid rock.

no the last line does not say that the son never belonged to the mother.
the poem is about how the son captured the rock and spent all his life
guarding thiscaptured rock... so in reality the stone captured him. and the
last line says the mother could never love her son because she had let him
capture her. basically if you imprison something you will eventually become
the prisoner.

Wow, I am impressed that this was on the Regents. Would that be the New
York State Regents because the last I heard, only New York and Ca. had them
and boy, I can tell. This poem reminds me a lot of some of Stephen Crane's
poems.

So this poem was on the Regents. In what is a hopefully erudite English
department, nobody had ever read the poem. We weren't even sure it was a
poem. Certainly, it is a parable. The significance lies in the last line,
"Which is true, because you have always been to me as the stone is to
you..." He never belonged to his mother?
