  • And when they bombed other people's houses, we protested nut not enough, we opposed them but not enough.- spoken in a casual tone.
  • I was in my bed, around my bed America was falling: invisible house by invisible house,(-) enjambment, reflects the meaning like the line is falling into the next one.
  • I took a chair outside and watched the sun- speaker turns a blind eye to the problems that don't affect them.
  • 'house of money.'- capitalist nation, everyone is ruled by 'money'.
  • 'the street of money in the city of money in the country of money our great country of money.' - breathless as there is no punctuation there is a rhythm to the list.
  • 'we (forgive us) lived happily during the war.'- irony? the use of brackets/ parenthesis makes it seem insincere? is it an afterthought? - circular structure same as the title, shows how the cycle will continue.
