Read the excerpt from "The Latin Deli: An Ars Poetica"
plain ham and cheese
that would cost less at the A&P, but it would not satisfy
the hunger of the fragile old man lost in the folds
of his winter coat, who brings her lists of items
that he reads to her like poetry, or the others,
whose needs she must divine, conjuring up products
from places that now exist only in their hearts-
closed ports she must trade with.
Which best describes how the author's word choice affects the tone of the poem?
O The tone is bitter because the woman who runs the deli tries to obtain items from "closed ports.
O The tone is sorrowful because the fragile old man cannot afford to pay for his food.
The tone is nostalgic because the people have "hunger" for items from places that now exist only in their hearts
anan because the food would cost less at the A&P making people feel cheated.
