Explicate (explain the meaning of) the following poem by Joy HarjoPerhaps the World Ends HereBY JOY HARJO The world begins at a kitchen table. No matter what, we must eat to live. The gifts of earth are brought and prepared, set on the table. So it has been since creation, andit will go on. We chase chickens or dogs away from it. Babies teethe at the corners. They scrape their kneesunder it. It is here that children are given instructions on what it means to be human. We make men atit, we make women. At this table we gossip, recall enemies and the ghosts of lovers. Our dreams drink coffee with us as they put their arms around our children. They laugh withus at our poor falling-down selves and as we put ourselves back together once again at thetable. This table has been a house in the rain, an umbrella in the sun. Wars have begun and ended at this table. It is a place to hide in the shadow of terror. A placeto celebrate the terrible victory. We have given birth on this table, and have prepared our parents for burial here.At this table we sing with joy, with sorrow. We pray of suffering and remorse. We give thanks. Perhaps the world will end at the kitchen table, while we are laughing and crying, eating ofthe last sweet bite.
