Analysis and comments on A Stone Is Nobody's by Russell Edson

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?
