Okay this was very helpful, as was the rest of the poem, in understanding it. I mean, I think I need to read the full analysis while someone with a beret and very small sunglasses plays a bongo out of time in the background, every breath a lungful of stale cigarettes and spilt red wine, to really understand it… but it helps. Thank you! 😊
edit: I think my favourite is
‘I hope you’re not a murderer, too,’ I say. ‘One murderer in my life is quite enough for me.’
‘Actually,’ she says, quietly, ‘I think we’re all murderers.’ I brake for a red light. ‘That’s lucky,’ I say. ‘I imagine it would be difficult going out with a murderer
If you weren’t a moral relativist.’
That is very funny… though I can’t quite describe why. Absurdism, I guess.
