| At first he seemed quite satisfied to trace A path between the wainscot and the door, | Personification of the cockroach, could be a symbol for a journey through life |
| But soon he turned to jog in crooked rings, Circling the rusty table leg and back, | Continued personification encoding the theme of life. Could show how we become in-patient with the boredom of life |
| And flipping right over to scratch his wings- As if the victim of a mild attack | cacophony of back and attack showing tension and violence. Enjambment builds tension |
| Of restlessness that worsened over time. After a while, he climbed an open shelf | This is where the rhyme scheme changes indicating realization. Metaphor for the drive to accomplish something huge, like a mid-life crises. The diction used is very aggressive and violent |
