Question

which lines from the poem facing it best reflect the narrators struggle between his desire to maintain control and the strong emotions that he feels?
im stone im flesh
my clouded reflection eyes me
i turn that way—im inside
the vietnam veterans memorial
i touch the name andrew johnson,
i see the booby traps white flash
brushstrokes flash, a red birds
wings cutting across my stare

Explanation:

The line "I'm stone I'm flesh" shows a contrast between the hard - exterior (stone) representing control and the soft - interior (flesh) representing emotions. The other options do not as clearly depict this struggle.

Answer:

I'm stone I'm flesh
My clouded reflection eyes me
