| Notes | The speaker of the poem comments on the destruction of the environment. In the poem, lists of animals, plants, and natural substances are listed in block capitals, before the poem abruptly ends with 'ESSO BP SHELL EXXON', the names of large multinational oil companies. Perhaps the speaker of the poem wishes to highlight how oil companies, as a signifier of human intervention in nature, have become part of the landscape of the bay. |
