| Notes | The speaker of the poem reflects on the discrimination against refugees in Ireland after attempting to make his way around a different country (Denmark) without the language. He struggles with understanding how daily life works, and has made a mistake with buying his ticket, leaving him ashamed, since he can't understand Danish. This experience leaves his empathetic to the plight of refugees in Ireland, who suffer discrimination simply because they cannot speak the language of the country. |
