| Notes | The abbreviation 'T.P.E' in the poem's title likely holds significant meaning for this poem, but its meaning is not clear. In this poem, the speaker appears to describe a man coming to construct a wire fence around his property. The construction of the fence is described in some detail in the poem, with the speaker examining it closely and noting how it will protect his sheep from being slaughtered in his yard. However, there is an unsettling undertone to this poem towards the end, as the speaker notes 'those who drafted the rules', a watchtower, and men in dark suits brandishing guns - at the top of all the corner posted just installed by the workman. Does this poem refer to a certain event during the World Wars, or to a concentration camp construction, perhaps? |
