"Junkyards" and "Nothing Gold Can Stay" both deal with the idea of impermanence (change).
Please annotate your poems with this thought in mind.
For discussion please discuss the following questions:
1. Read stanza 1 and 2.Given that junkyards are filled with symbols of progress, what might the speaker be suggesting about society?
2. Analyze the last stanza's "onward-impelling implements." What do you notice about the order in which the speaker lists them?
3. Are junkyards merely a symbol of the past or can they represent the present in some way? Explain.
