Notes	Predominantly about the speaker's relationship with his parents and, as a new father himself, a reflection on how his son will perceive him. Set in Northern Ireland (Killymoon, Co. Tyrone), alludes to sectarian tensions and contains a short explicit reference to the War in Iraq; critical of the invasion of Iraq.
