In the following original poem, a speaker drives past an old neighborhood being redeveloped:
"The bulldozer squats like a foreman, chewing beams.
A maple, half-sawed, begs with its rings exposed.
Even the sidewalk turns its face away,
cracked lips gathering dust where kids once raced,
while the new condos practice smiling in glass."
What is the function of the personification in the poem's description of the changing neighborhood?
