Great Regulars: I enjoyed the word play here,

and of all his names, "Sameold Goodold" and "Hankernot Renunciation" appealed. The short lines and enjambment--with the repetition of the sounds call me/call me/called me/gave me, on the line breaks--give the poem a rhythmic sure-footedness. There's a suggestion of brokenness in the character, through "half a man", "downheart", "need" and "hunger". The bracketed asides "as if I'd had a friend", "as if there's no other day", add a further note of strangeness, undercutting the first thought.
