| Notes | This poem appears to reference the image of a mother and child in Cambodia as seen on screen by people in a bar in Ireland. The child she holds in her arms has died due to starvation. In contrast, the customers in the bar order pints and ask the barman to hurry up as they are thirsty. The emphasis is on the apathy of the viewers. |
