Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. Your goal is to reassemble the original poem as accurately as possible. As you move the lines, you'll see whether your arrangement is correct, helping you explore the poem's flow and meaning. You can also print out the jumbled poem to cut up and reassemble in the classroom. Either way, take your time, enjoy the process, and discover how the poet's words come together to create something truly beautiful.

Sprouting despondently at area gates.
They are rattling breakfast plates in basement kitchens,
And vanishes along the level of the roofs.
The brown waves of fog toss up to me
And tear from a passer-by with muddy skirts
I am aware of the damp souls of housemaids
Twisted faces from the bottom of the street,
An aimless smile that hovers in the air
And along the trampled edges of the street
