Hemingway Poem

“For Sale. Baby Shoes. Never Worn.” -Ernest Hemingway
I believe that this poem is referring to a couple having to sell baby stuff because they were expecting to have a baby but there was a miscarriage. Now they do not have a baby, but they do have baby stuff to remind them of what could have been, so they must sell it all. It is a short but depressing poem.
