Kindergarten by James Franco

The beginning of this poem begins describing a kindergarten classroom and naming some of the things that the poet, James Franco, observes and remembers. Rob Lowe reads it slowly with a smile to poke fun at possibly how simple the poem is. As the poem continues, the author transitions from what he sees, to what he experiences when he mentions a friend he made. Rob Lowe says the last line with a straight face to highlight how abruptly the poem ends. - Mary Jane Ripley
