2. The Armful By: Robert Frost For every parcel I stoop down to seize I lose some other off my arms and knees, And the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns— Extremes too hard to comprehend at once, Yet nothing I should care to leave behind.

I had to drop the armful in the road. And try to stack them in a better load.
