Ijust need explanation guys, not of the poem but of an example to see how it works.
the boston evening transcript:

the readers of the boston evening transcript1
sway in the wind like a field of ripe corn.
when evening quickens faintly in the street,
wakening the appetites of life in some
and to others bringing the boston evening transcript,
i mount the steps and ring the bell, turning
wearily, as one would turn to nod good-bye to rochefoucauld2,
if the street were time and he at the end of the street,
and i say, "cousin harriet, here is the boston evening transcript."

1-a daily newspaper published in boston, ma in the late 1800s and early 1900s
2-rochefoucauld was a noted french author of maxims and memoirs and a nobleman

-what is the theme of the poem?
- what is its' value?
- what is its idea?
