Round 22

Yusef: "Report on Human Beings" by Michael Goldman

Bob: "Independence Day" by Benjamin Friedlander

Goldman adopts a deliberately dull tone, since his poem is supposed to be a "report." The result sounds like William Bronk on boring pills:

We were distinguished
by our interest in scenery

or

What was most wonderful about us
was our kindness

Friedlander's poem isn't great either. Rather obvious political points and plays on words. This is another tie.
