Whitman uses such a simple phrase as “who I am or what I mean” because he wants to communicate directly with readers (B). That's why he uses the direct pronoun "I" and also communicates with readers using the "you" diction.

EXPLANATION  

The poem "Song of Myself" is written in the style of Whitman's free poems. In section 39, Whitman glorifies the words "as simple as grass". It is a standard stanza that supports a simple style, which would attract a lot of readers.

You will hardly know who I am or what I mean,

But I shall be good health to you nevertheless,

And filter and fibre your blood.

The quote above is part 52 of this poem. This part states how the poet entered about nature which is part of him. The poet merges with the grass leaves, which are the closest part to the ground and most come in contact with other natural creatures. The poem ends by developing the Transcendentalist theme which also applies it to the poet's personal experience.

Can you describe the word chalk without saying the words chalk or chalky?
wlad13 [49]

Chalk is a white powder made of soft limestone called calcium carbonate. It can be found in both a powder substance or a more firm rock-like form. One use of the powder form is for gymnasts. They use the calcium carbonate powder from to protect their hands from blisters when doing work on the bars, pomel horse, or rings. The harder form of calcium carbonate can sometimes be found in the shape of a long round cylinder and is used as a writing implement on blackboards. Sometimes it is mixed with a coloring agent and used to draw pictures on sidewalks.
