Never heard of the guy (not American) so I thought this was how we learned about Randall Monroe's carbon monoxide leak.

It was on the wall in my English class, with a black and white photograph of some cherries.

I always thought it was weird, but I never forgot it.

This is one of those moments where my lack of cultural understanding rears up, because this is where I say "how is that a poem" and it becomes evidence of some kind of bigotry.

Oh yes! That's familiar.

Markdown broke the formatting, here's the proper version:

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
