The poem “Who’s Who” is a short but meaningful poem in the sense that shows the steps of realization that things aren’t what they seem, of understanding of the other after being in their shoes. The stereotypical gender labelling of nurses as females and police as males, as well as poets being boring serves as a tool for the realization and argument against those stereotypes in the final line, i.e., becoming them.
