Colour Town (Cinquain) by Everyone Walking through Colour Town,
Down streets smelling of Chinamen,
Down streets smelling of Mexicans,
Down streets smelling of Blacks,
Down streets smelling of Jews,
I feel an unbearable ache
And wonder
Which street is yours?
Up the ladder:
the pot collected water when it hid us from the rain
Down the ladder:
The green mile

Why do you think this poem deserved a 2, rather than a 1 or 0? Was it the line "I feel an unbearable ache"?
