My first encounter with the: My first encounter with the concept of menagerie was as a young schoolchild watching reruns of old black and white movies, this one with the title The Glass Menagerie (1950) and your poem corresponds quite neatly with its emotive qualities and the feel of it encapsules the enslavement that solidly ends the poem.
