Read the poem excerpt below.
1 The garden fence is painted every spring,
2 a bright white promise the rain will not keep.
3 By July, rust freckles the hinges; the latch
4 sticks like a grudge that has learned to live here.
5 I push it open anyway, hearing the complaint
6 and thinking: this is what time does—stays.
Which option provides the best evidence for the interpretation that the poem presents time as a persistent force that quietly erodes human attempts at control or renewal?
