...
“The Dolphins”: Sentient animals, natural, freedom, in a group, trapped,
individuals (the specific), hunted/hunters, strength
...
“Inner City Lullaby”: Metropolitan, sleep, tired, busy, dirty, night time, awake,
children, travel
...
What’s going on?“Originally”: An immigrant family moving from one country to another and the
struggling with the change in their identities
...
“Queen Kong”: A man filming a documentary meets King Kong’s other half;
they fall in love, the man goes back to NY, Queen Kong follows him, they get
back together, the man eventually dies and is worn around Queen Kong’s neck
...
“Geography was peculiarly taught”: Someone reflecting back onto their
geography lessons and with the idea that it’s meant to be about people and
landscapes
...
” “My parents’ anxiety stirred like a loose tooth in my head “I stared
at the eyes of a blind toy, holding its paw
...
Originally? And I hesitate
...
Fell through the fields- metaphor of
how the family may have been high up in previous society but have fallen out of
failure and the next culture will hit them hard
...
Blind toy- Irony as it has eyes but can’t see; similar to how the
migrant can’t see who they are or which direction they’re going in
...
Now where do you come
from- Sarcastic mockery of the voice as they aren’t seen as part of this new land,
the caesura/tense in And I hesitate detaches the voice from the society at the
present time
...
” “There is a man
and there are hoops
...
” “Music of loss forever
from the other’s heart which turns my own to stone” “
...
We sink
to the limits of this pool until the whistle blows
...
” “Outside this world you cannot breathe for long
...
” Element- ironies as in their element of water yet are still trapped as a
collective group
...
Music/stonelike a lament/dirge for the dolphins and this degrades them into non-sentient
beings that sink to the bottom
...
Reflecting lovemirroring an image yet it can’t be completely done, the other is ambiguous
another dolphin in the enclosure in the dolphin’s head? Outside this world- Need
to go to the air to breathe and can’t stay in the depths, in the same way that they
need to perform in order to get food
...
“Queen Kong”: “My little Man” “As you see, this island’s a paradise
...
”
“pressing my passionate eye to a thousand windows” “I watched him fly into the
sun” My little man- love between these two creatures, the m’s wrap around the
man like Kong’s arms
...
Emerald eyes- symbolism/rhyme shows that there’s a
beauty in death, could also show death as a natural thing
...
Flying into the sun- end of an era, romantic sunset
...
”
Witch- implicit suggestion of Margaret Thatcher yet can’t break this down as it’s
only a fairytale fantasy
...
Rebuilding tradeinternal rhyme shows how beautiful this existence is and enjambment shows an
easy flowing nature
...
I should say ‘weren’t’, of course, but no matter
...
” “If
you want to learn, listen to the dialogue; you don’t look to the scenery for the
meaning
...
Earth-writing- the choice of mated degrades the tribesmen to animals and
there’s a great playing on words with the title of geography
...
Themes“Originally”: Journeys, isolation, change in identity/culture, pain, immigration,
inability to fit in
“The Dolphins”: Entrapment, isolation, change in lifestyle, suffering
...
“Inner City Lullaby”: Power, youth, innocence, entrapment, journey, protection
