How does the poet try to shock us into having “fresh eyes” for his poem? Do these tactics still work for us in the 21st century? (I carry your heart with me) aka a poem

heylo !

explanation:

i decided to stay late in the laboratory to continue my experiment with the lightbulb. at midnight, thomas edison opened the door and walked in with his head held high.

1. he leaned on the wall and observed me carefully.

2. his harsh scrutiny made me self-conscious of my skills in the lab.

3. perhaps it was just me, but the air in the laboratory began to thicken as i found myself having difficulty to breathe.

4. i turned to look at him fully as i mentally prepared myself for what my very first words would be to thomas edison.

5. the next couple of seconds shocked me. it wasn't me who spoke, but rather him and with diction i could never think of using in a simple sentence.

hey, sorry if this was bad, i really didn't know what to write but i wanted to you. is there anything that you had to include within the excerpt?

two 125 kg bumper cars are moving toward each other in opposite directions. car x is moving at 10 m/s and car z at −12 m/s when they collide head-on. if the resulting velocity of car z after the collision is 10 m/s, what is the velocity of car x after the collision?
