Metaphor
"Each one of my thoughts was being ghostwritten / By anonymous authors."
Metaphor in Context
Each one of my thoughts was being ghostwritten
By anonymous authors. Each time they hit
A cobwebbed typewriter key, I shudder.
Luckily, dark came quickly today.
Soon the neighbors were burning leaves,
And perhaps a few other things too.
Later, I saw the children run around the fire,
Their faces demonic in its flames.
(ll. 9-16)
