March 11th

Why cant there be a summary to this poem online?  I know I should be looking only in my own mind for details about the poem, but i just have so many questions.  There are so many things I don't understand the meaning behind.

I'm abandoning my egg quest and am going to turn my attention to the third stanza.  Starting with line thirteen there are a few things I want to look at.  "Watching dogs in June Dust and heat" is a very odd phrase.  June seems to be giving the reader further details as to the time in which the poem is taking place.

Dogs may be paired with watching to compare the brothers to watch dogs.  Watch dogs are curious about everything and look out for the family.  These brothers are curious and are acting somewhat like watch dogs.  Although I dont necessarily think Yusef is trying to get the reader to imagine the brothers as dogs.
