In the poem filling stations Elizabeth Bishop talks about a family and where they live which is called the filling station. She describes the filling station as dirty and oil soaked and oil permeated. The way she describes it at first tells you that the filling station is a garage that the family works at, but later on you find out that it might be their house as well because of other materials they have laying around. In the last stanza the last line says "somebody loves us all" which makes you wonder if someone close to them left. In this poem there is no rhyming pattern. It is a little strange that in the poem they talk about everyone in the family except the mother, so it makes it seem like the mother left them and they feel unloved.
