The language is basically middle and easy throughout the
poem. The last five lines, for example, contain no elevated words, with the possible
exception of “elementary.” The diction in lines 13–18 refers mainly to the people
involved in the experiment and also to the “someone” down the hall together with the
“hazardous waste crew.” The phrases “lickety-split” and “out of danger” are contrasted
here. The first is everyday slang, or lingo. The second is more appropriate to an
emergency room or operating room. The poem ends on the notion of “this sick feeling,”
because the speaker still feels the danger and apprehension of the situation. The
connection with the previous parts of the poem is that the present recollection of past
danger is explained by the actual events of the disastrous experiment. One might suggest
that the participants in the experiment do not maintain contact because they do not wish
to relive the danger they faced and the chagrin they
experienced.
