OOTB is a poem based on 9/11. The poem is written from the perspective of a person in the world trade centre at the time of attack in first and second person.

In the poem one of the obvious language devices is repetition and rhyming and in the first stanza the protagonist says how you can see him through a camera shot and that the viewer will see “that a white cotton shirt is twirling,turning.” this quote uses present continuous verbs and these things the protagonist mentions are describing his surroundings. In the second stanza repetition of the word waving is used quite frequently and he describes him self as small in the clouds but still waving this shows hen hasn’t given up hope and still believes he will be rescued but then says “does anyone see a soul worth saving” this is a rhetorical question where the protagonist wonders if anyone will be saved since
