| Notes | The speaker of this poem appears to be someone either in a police force or an army, attempting to play down the injuries of a prisoner or internee. Various reasons are given for the injuries - the prisoner slipped, fell, or banged into something. The speaker promises that no member of the force laid a hand on him. The implication of the poem is that the state forces here are attempting to cover up instances of brutality. |
