Which line(s) from the poem best support the theme that loneliness is a feeling that people want to escape?
the best reason I ever heard-- for trying to be a champion.
while you float free into a cloud of sudden azaleas,-- pink petals that have never felt loneliness,-- no matter how slowly they fell.
if he roller-skated fast enough-- his loneliness couldn't catch up to him
What I wonder tonight-- pedaling hard down King William

Which line(s) best support the idea that the speaker is lonely?
his loneliness couldn’t catch up to him,
A victory! To leave your loneliness– panting behind you on some street corner
while you float free into a cloud of sudden azaleas,– pink petals that have never felt loneliness,– no matter how slowly they fell.
What I wonder tonight– pedaling hard down King William Street– is if it translates to bicycles.
